RE: Your grandmom’s book - you should do that. You reminded me that somewhere (I think, I hope) I might have an autographed copy of this book that was written by a lady from my hometown.
Things like that are fast disappearing down the memory hole, if only due to age and neglect. It would be nice to see more of them saved, and not just in the ‘rare find’ bins on Amazon.
