Somebody should call the phone number and let his son know about the
internet! I can well understand wanting to keep the collection whole, but
even so it seems like it could fetch more than $10K.

Article says they are considering Ebay. Sounds like he is more interested in
a good home and would like to keep control of the sale.

Quote:

"The ideal is that there'd be, somewhere, a small college that's just
getting a library started," Norton said. "To be able to get a whole
collection of American literature with all the Mark Twain works could really
help them."
