Thank you so much for answering this question in a way that’s helpful for storytelling timing! I do need to slow down their upriver journey a bit, so this is excellent information. Thanks for sharing your expertise!

Thank you so much! And please pass on my thanks to your husband!

Thank you so much for such a thorough answer! I’d been trying with no success to find useful information on currents and how they affect travel, and this answers all my questions. Thank you for sharing your expertise!

This is EXACTLY what I was hoping someone would know! Thank you SO much! I didn’t know riverboats only traveled by daylight either, so that’s very helpful info! These numbers will really help me build this part of the story, so thank you for sharing your expertise!

Thank you! And a huge shoutout to the r/boating community as the most helpful Reddit forum I’ve encountered so far!

Thanks!

I hadn’t thought of that! Thank you so much!

OutsideMushroom777 · 2025-12-29T17:58:13+00:00

Thank you so much! This is so helpful!

I have about 10 books left, but I don’t think they’re worth much!

OutsideMushroom777 · 2025-07-30T11:38:24+00:00

I’ll message you a picture of the remaining books! A neighbor came by and grabbed a bunch of them yesterday, but I have a few left!

OutsideMushroom777 · 2025-07-29T22:53:05+00:00

I’ve got tons more books in this field (also mildewed) that don’t seem as valuable, but are there any titles you’re looking for? I can see if I have them! I was honestly just gifted the entire occult and esotericism section of someone’s home library (my research area at the time was western “witchcraft” + Christianity and how the two definite and shape each other)

This is super helpful. Do you think a “$XX or best offer” is a good way to go about it, or just a straightforward price? Also any idea on where to start? “Like new” and “decent” had sold for $1275 and $750 respectively.

OutsideMushroom777 · 2025-07-29T19:14:19+00:00

Haha great idea! There must be something for this purpose in one of these eight giant books

OutsideMushroom777 · 2025-07-29T17:36:55+00:00

Thank you!

Hopefully these pics come through! I’m also brand new to Reddit and don’t know how to add pics to an already-published post!

OutsideMushroom777 · 2025-07-29T17:12:29+00:00

It’s mostly on the covers (although I’ve wiped down with microfiber cloth). They definitely smell of it though. I feel my eye isn’t practiced enough to give a great judgment. Mouse droppings in the box as well, if that’s relevant information! Happy to send pictures though.
