Message:: [QUOTE="Justbrowsing, post: 347439, member: 7175"]I'll check it out and find out what the publication info is! Thanks Clutteredcloset49. There's every chance a lot of it could be my grandfather's or further. I found a book that was my great-great-great aunt's yesterday! I wouldn't call my family collectors in a traditional sense (unless it's dad's Nat Geos or sports cards), we're more kind of.. sentimental hoarders I guess. There's a lot of stuff that's been passed down - like we have a huge hardcover bible that's over 200/250yrs old & all the family births and deaths get written into it. That plus a load of furniture, trinkets, & books ended up passed down through the years. My dad kept basically everything he was given, minus one house move where a few things were lost. I grew up with everything underfoot, not thinking it was a big deal. I think I remember taking in an excellent condition, super old, hardcover copy of Swiss Family Robinson to carry around and read between classes in middle school and my teacher's eyes popped out of her head at the sight of the perfectly in-tact cover in the hands of a kid. As a child I didn't realize any of it had value. It was just legacy, not valuables at the time.[/QUOTE]
