Books are similar to other collectables. I inherited my late father's stamp collection recently. He spent a lifetime carefully searching for certain ones and picking others up from shows, the post office, or the Internet. I don't think I could ever find enough mail I wanted to send to use up even a 100th of them. I collected a few when I was a kid, but never caught the bug like he did. It seems a shame to throw them out or sell them for pennies on the dollar, knowing how much time and money he spent on them; but that is what will probably happen. I will keep a few in a binder or two for sentimental reasons. They made him happy so they served their purpose.
