My grandfather collected books. I believe many are pretty rare and niche. Since his passing a couple decades ago, I think quite a few have already been sold or walked off. Going through some areas in preparation for an upcoming estate sale I took just a couple pictures of some of them.

Lots of old j frank dobie stuff I didn't take pictures of. I think you should be able to zoom in on some of the titles. If anyone sees anything they are interested in I'll provide some details on sale.

I'm on a short leash for new books but here are a few I grabbed.

One of the books had a newspaper article from the 40s stuck between pages

I'm real curious about that "Atom Bomb Box Score". I wonder if it said USA 1, Japan 0.

Edit - Nevermind, I neglected to notice that was in relation to the Bikini testing. So I guess it was a listing of ships sunk by that testing.

That collection is a worldview sitting on a shelf.

Very cool. Do you have a price in mind for the entire collection?

I don't. Unfortunately, I'm not in position to even negotiate for that. Sale will be March 6-8. When there is a link available I will post. The pictures showed maybe half of the books.
