They included many old British favorites, and also an almost complete set of L. Frank Baum's Oz books! I was a speedreader, and my folks were looking at several houses on the street, so I sat and read. I BEGGED them to buy the house so I could claim the books, but they were unimpressed. When I think of what those books would be worth today . . . Ah well, at least I have the memory. It feels, I think, as Schliemann's wife must have felt when she posed wearing the gold of Troy.
