<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 9563407, member: 37"]When my grandparent's passed, an auction company was hired to sell the estate. There were shelves of books that they sold by choice, and then by the remainder per shelf. My mother told the auction company that my great grandmother was known to leave money in books. The books had been somewhat searched by the family over the years and some money was found. She was assured that the books would be leafed through before selling. Day of auction, the books had probably not been touched. I don't know if any additional money was found but one man did find the original deed to my great grandparent's medicine company. He would not give it back, nor let us buy it. </p><p><br /></p><p>Jump ahead 20 years when my mother's cousin passed. When we cleared his apartment, several hundred dollars was found in books.
