[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 4334109, member: 84"]Heading home from a garage sale Sunday I saw a sign for another sale so I quickly made a u turn and went to see what they had. They didn't have much but when I asked her if she had anything old or unusual the lady told me her mother was the secretary for author Daniel B. Shepp and he had given her some autographed manuscripts of his books over the course of her employment. I told her I'd like to see them & while she went to get them I googled Daniel B. Shepp and saw several links to him come up before she returned. She told me she was going to throw them away & if I wanted them she'd sell them for $40 - $10 each, so I agreed. Are these worth anything? 3 of the 4 are signed by Shepp. Do people collect manuscripts - especially if not a well known author? What do I have & what do I do with them?? (I know it's an addiction - when I see a garage sale sign I go - and usually buy something I don't need!!) Thank you for any info/thoughts!
