Thanks. I probably have more of those than you do. :) I gave tons of my mom’s books away when we closed up her house. I couldn’t ship them, and I had no way of handling their sale. The “expert” that the estate sale manager brought in did nothing, except take the best for herself and the bookcases too! I was 2000 miles away and had no say in it. I’m trying not to relive it!
Some of mom’s books were valuable, but I just have to forget all about it.
You did the best you could and that was enough. A mother would not have expected more.
I have quite a few 1st editions of Clive Cussler and Tom Clancy. I also have a bunch of really old Mark Twains. We had most of our stuff in storage for 8 years and now it is like Christmas opening up things and finding things we forgot about. Of course we are also doing the “What the heck did I keep this for...?” with a number of items.
