It’s almost like a level of MASH triage in terms of managing this monster batch of books. You sort (and sorting was accomplished mostly by very able staffer Dan), alphabetize, pull out any Silver, Bronze…and Gold, if you’re lucky, and anything deemed collectible, or “hot” in the market, and just overall make the collection presentable for collectors!
