2) LDRB SEARCH OR COLLECTIONS ASSISTANCE SERVICE:
This is a fee or commission based service encompassing the "circle of collecting". Starting with helping you to begin a collection or library followed by filling in gaps with specific identified item(s) and then  identifying and suggesting  items of high potential interest not on your wants list, and finally assisting with the downsizing or disposing of one, some  or all of your collection. I refer to this as  "Helping Collectors Collect".  Whether you are a private collector, or an institution such as a University Special Collections Library or Public Library I am able to help you with one or all of these services. Call Duncan at 905.680.8115 or email at duncan@LDRB.ca to discuss your collecting issues and interests.

3) LDRB APPRAISAL SERVICE:
Having acquired membership in the International Society of Appraisers (ISA), and in 2011, membership in the Canadian Personal Properties Appraisers Group (CPPAG), I am qualified to provide professional appraisals. Utilizing my professional training and the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP), and the ISA Report Writing Standard and Code of Ethics, I will appraise single books and entire collections. This service is available to Libraries, Private collectors and Institutional collectors. Appraisal services include reports for insurance coverage, damage and loss claims, charitable or cultural property donation, estate planning and division of assets, purchase or sales advice, determination of probate fees or capital gains tax, bankruptcy, divorce or partnership dissolution.
