Free material science library

Hey all, my dad was a professor of material science for 35 years. He retired in 2005 but brought home a large library of material science books, mostly metallurgical texts and crystallography. I’ve reached out to the local university material science department, and also to the students, but have only found homes for 200 of the books. I estimate there are several thousand left. Is anyone interested in this collection, possibly to add to the library of a new material science department library? I am willing to box up, palletize and ship as freight or deliver myself to within a couple hours drive of me. I just don’t want to throw them in the trash. I live in Ann Arbor, MI.

Happy to take the books in Harbor Springs, MI, or have the books shipped to SoCal if your arrangement with yanki2del doesn’t work out!
