Rather than sell the collection to an individual, who could then put his imprint on Jimmy's labors, or donate it to an institution, where it would repose in an archival setting, occasionally referred to for research purposes but more often mouldering in an uncaring obscurity, the Findlay family decision freed the books to bring joy to their new owners, just as Jimmy had reveled in the acquisition when he got them" (the collection required four separate auctions to dispose of its contents).
