According to the SCOTUS website at: the Issue at argument is: http://www.scotusblog.com/case-files/cases/kirtsaeng-v-john-wiley-sons-inc/
Issue: How do Section 602(a)(1) of the Copyright Act, which prohibits the importation of a work without the authority of the copyright’s owner, and Section 109(a) of the Copyright Act, which allows the owner of a copy “lawfully made under this title” to sell or otherwise dispose of the copy without the copyright owner’s permission, apply to a copy that was made and legally acquired abroad and then imported into the United States?

Doesn't sound to me like my grandma's antique anything is even at question, let alone at risk. Also seems like some people are over reacting to this case to try to create their own issues with copyright law just because a publisher is involved. I suggest librarians not worry about Kirtsaeng v. John Wiley & Sons, Inc. or the Supreme Court on this matter.
