From: Fred Jenkins <[log in to unmask]> Date: Tue, 13 Mar 2018 21:45:09 -0400 As I thin my own shelves (my wife and I had ca 4500 books, with all of our dozen+ bookcases double shelved, now down to ca. 3500), I have given a number to a recent PhD friend who is building his library; I would recommend that to potential faculty donors. When I am gone, my instructions to the kids are to keep what they want, give to scholars or grad students, sell to antiquarian dealers, but not under any circumstances to give to an institution.
