Maris is a sometime rare book dealer and Andrew just likes old junk, so they were eager to help.
Mostly crap, a lot of advertising yearbooks, plays, children's books, and second-rate art books... a lot of it too musty to deal with, but much of the stuff is in good shape, and should air out nicely.
I got first dibs and made out pretty well. None of them are really valuable, but I just picked what I liked, anyhow.
Here's a few highlights:
A very "pulpy" 1949 edition of 1984, in excellent condition; two volumes of the nifty Macmillan "pocket encyclopedias" which I've never heard of... sadly, only these two; I'd love to have the whole aviation set...
I did score big-time with all four volumes of Orwell's essays, letters, etc...looking forward to reading those, as I only know his novels and short stories.
The Nat'l Geo. was the only one in the whole pile, BUT- half of it is text, pictures and maps of the Lindberghs' epic N. Atlantic wanderings in 1933 (text by Anne Morrow Lindbergh). They took off from Flushing Bay, NY, flew all around Greenland and Iceland, and even wound up in England at one point, even though there wasn't much need for map-surveying of that particular island.
there are something like 80 photos in this massive article, mostly aerial shots or pictures of the gorgeous Lockheed Sirius floatplane, named Tingmissartoq.
This was a library copy, and it looks like nobody ever looked inside. It's in superb condition, except for the cover. I'd love to scan these amazing photos, but I'd probably have to trash the binding to do it right.
But here's a couple of samples:
And a look at some of the nifty illustrations of the classic airliners in one of the Macmillan books: could come in handy for some FS repaints, eh?
Another nice find was a huge-format book of beautiful lithos of Norman Rockwell's stuff, with a biography. He's often derided as a hack illustrator who propogated a myth of an America that never really existed, but I think he deserves more credit as a serious artist. I've never liked photo-realism much, but I always liked Rockwell for his humanism and his eye for capturing fleeting moments.
He always struck me as a brilliant photographer who happened to work with paint instead of film.
This is my favorite painting of his, depicting the explosive situation in the South when public schools there were desegregated by Presidential decree in the early '60s. There's an excellent quote with this one from the artist:
"I was born a white Protestant with some prejudices that I am continuously trying to eradicate. I am angry at unjust prejudices, in other people or in myself."
u got some nice books there 
Maybe you'll find a couple of nine-irons to use as rudder pedals in your simpit. 
I'd much rather do the real thing and just take flying lessons, which I'm scheduled to start sometime early next year by the way.
