Update On The Book Rescue

I really may have to open a book store! We packed up two van loads of books today. There are the expected paperbacks and children’s books, but an astonishing number of classics, history books (one of my personal favorite categories) and some good nonfiction. I could scream over some of the boxes that had gotten wet and ruined everything. We’re not talking cheap paperbacks here, but what had recently been quality hardback books.

One set that I am excited about is The Annals Of America. It is 21 volumes of beautifully bound books on American history through 1986. If they are all there, this alone will justify the effort. I’m pretty sure they are all there, since I even found the paperback introduction to it that is a table of contents and sources.

One more load should get the rest of them safely home where I can sort and catalog the largesse. I know what I’m going to be doing for the next couple days
