Grandfather's Books

This is an odd thing, I was trying to tell someone about my grandfather's books... I didn't get many of them, My oldest brother got his law books, I got novels, a set of encyclopedias, a literature series and this old dictionary. I love it... 
It's in sad shape now... my sister's kids used it for a booster seat when they were little... much to my sadness... 
My grandfather had a lot of books, as you can imagine... being a lawyer, you do accumulate a lot of books, but he has more than the normal clutter... you see, he was pretty old (I'm the youngest of all the grandchildren and I'm pretty old). He practiced during the depression and the tough years that ensued. 
Many of his clients paid him with goods... like chickens, bushels of vegetables, books...
