Neil,
Yes, I am afraid that our situation is "that" difficult.
...
The reason I'm listing them here is that I want them to go to faithful Catholic homes and not just to collectors, resellers or antiques dealers.
Thank you for your concern.
Ave Maria,
Stephen Francis

They'll want a short description of these items, I would presume,
like titles, publication dates, number of pages, type of cover.
And for the statues - how many inches tall, ID of saint, painted/glazed,
material (wood, plaster, marble resin, porcelain, concrete, solid marble,
carved basalt, glass, cast iron, plastic), indoor/outdoor, weight, condition.
Just a guess. You're in a hurry and you know what these things are,
but other people are going, "okay, but what is it, really?" They can't
read your mind, even if they'd like to help you. A short list of these
details is what they need, and you're reluctant to do that because it
is very painful for you to
REDUCE your collection to a brief mention
of its essential components.
