I’ve said many times before that I don’t really believe in financial inheritance systems. I think they entrench wealth in unfair ways… but personal inheritance of sentimental items is another thing altogether.
I’m cataloguing my books (slowly) with LibraryThing and I’ve just discovered that the copy of Chairman Mao’s Little Red Book that I inherited from my grandfather is a first edition, printed by the foreign press in Peking in 1966.
Neat!
