[Richard T. Eger]

Dear Ed,

Thanks for the tip. Most are in storage, although I have a few key ones I have kept out, so gave your search engine a try. The book I elected to check was Engineering Considerations of Stress Strain and Strength, by Robert C. Juvinall, c. 1967. While an excellent textbook, I thought by now it would have been superceded by someone. To my surprise, "new" the asking price ranges from $174.13 to $488.11, while "used", it ranges from $48.49 to $792.56. That's not my typo.

I have a set of pristine 1960's era ASM metals books which must now be worth a fortune.

So, the next question is: How can I or my heirs turn these into cash?

Regards,
Richard
