I found a large cache of Mormon Books at a sale this weekend... These are books that I look for... Because they sell at fairly high prices... Especially if they are older, small printings...and are now out of print...
Some of these books are absurdly high priced on line... I usually "low ball" a scarce book if I did not pay that much for it...just to move it... I'm more than willing to leave some money on the table...if I can find one buyer willing to pay a fair price...
Many of these Mormon books were printed locally in the Salt City City region...
Some of the books I acquired yesterday were from the Kimball Family library... They had the Kimball's embossed stamp on them... Kimball was the president of the Latter Day Saints... Some of the books were inscribed by the authors to Kimball...these are especially interesting... Most were on esoteric aspects of Mormon life or Religion...
Many Mormans are avid book collectors...and I'm sure many of these books will be sent back to Utah...eventually. Sam Weller's bookstore in Salt Lake has a large rare book operation that includes many Mormon books...
How these books get out of Utah is a real question... But Mormons do travel on missions...and Mormon collectors are found in every state...and overseas... So finding a large collection of Mormon books outside of Utah is not that rare...
