I doubt it. More often then not grandchildren have no idea that
grandfather once published a book unless there was a ton of unsold
copies cluttering up the basement.
Probably true, though there are those of us who are periodically
reminded in a very pleasant way that our grandfathers once published books.
George, I would very happily take advantage of your trust. I am
actively investigating ways to set free my grandfather's books that are
currently out of print. (Those that are still in print are doing very
nice things for his great-grandkids' college funds, so I will greedily
retain my copyrights to them for now.)
