PODCASTS: KEN RENDELL IN CONVERSATIONCharles Morgan recently interviewed Ken Rendell on the CoinWeek Podcast. Check it out (but still read the book)! -Editor 
In this episode of the CoinWeek Podcast, Charles Morgan sits down with rare document dealer Kenneth Rendell to discuss his life as detailed in his new book Safeguarding History: Trailblazing Adventures Inside the Worlds of Collecting and Forging History. The book is a remarkable achievement in autobiography. In it, Ken pulls back the curtain to a life fully-lived and reveals the inner workings of a fascinating niche of the collecting industry.

Kenneth W. Rendell's new memoir, "Safeguarding History," is available now. Coin collectors know Rendell as a contemporary of Q. David Bowers, Kenneth Bressett, Grover Criswell, Dick Johnson, and others who started the Rittenhouse Society in the 1950s, when Rendell was a prodigy teenaged coin dealer (selling to the likes of Ambassador and Mrs. R. Henry Norweb). Here's a C-SPAN "Booknotes+" interview that focuses on his life in the world of rare manuscripts and artifacts. The interview gets into Rendell's debunking of the Hitler Diaries, his appraisal of the Richard Nixon Watergate tapes and letters, his work building the massive personal library of Bill and Melinda Gates, the so-called "Jack the Ripper" diary, and more.
