I just love stories like this. How people from different backgrounds go through different things, yet come to the same conclusion about life. Beautiful old books are valuable in many ways. Thanks both for sharing 😍

I once emptied a dumpster, with permission, as fast as it was being filled with old Encyclopaedias from an office clearance and I then listed them online. Never underestimate the value of books and even old knowledge. And beautiful well bound books are like furniture.

Fess up, do you engage in bookshelf wealth?

I remember when I first started practicing law I bought the statute books I needed for my state from a retiring lawyer. Fast forward 20 years, and everything of course went online. I assumed my books were valueless. They're not. They are really nice old leather bound volumes. Now that I'm retiring I'm looking into selling them. They're worth more than I imagined.
