<p>[QUOTE=&quot;2manybooks, post: 644292, member: 8267&quot;]With regard to the books, auction houses and estate sale organizers often don&#039;t have a good grasp of how to deal with large quantities of books. You might try contacting booksellers in your area. Here are a couple of links for professional booksellers associations members in Pennsylvania:</p><p><br /></p><p>The ABAA (The Antiquarian Bookseller&#039;s Association of America):</p><p><a href="https://www.abaa.org/booksellers/results?BusinessName=&amp;first_name=&amp;last_name=&amp;state=PA&amp;chapter=&amp;specialties=" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.abaa.org/booksellers/results?BusinessName=&amp;first_name=&amp;last_name=&amp;state=PA&amp;chapter=&amp;specialties=" rel="nofollow">https://www.abaa.org/booksellers/results?BusinessName=&amp;first_name=&amp;last_name=&amp;state=PA&amp;chapter=&amp;specialties=</a></p><p><br /></p><p>And the IOBA (Independent Online Bookseller&#039;s Association):</p><p><a href="http://www.ioba.org/pages/member-directory/#/?state=PA" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ioba.org/pages/member-directory/#/?state=PA" rel="nofollow">http://www.ioba.org/pages/member-directory/#/?state=PA</a></p><p><br /></p><p>(On both sites you can search other states as well, if you are closer to Ohio for example.)</p><p><br /></p><p>The dealers belonging to the professional organizations go through at least a modicum of vetting, and agree to certain ethical standards, which can provide a bit more confidence than just going through the local yellow pages. Most have special areas of interest, so you might want to try to figure out what kinds of topics are represented in your collection and contact dealers with matching interests. The more information you can provide, the more likely you are to find a dealer willing to come out and take a look. They will want to know the subject matters, the approximate size of the collection, and a general idea of the condition.</p><p><br /></p><p>Good luck.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
