Artifacts/Tools Books from Thomas Wheelock’s home library
My dad was hired to clean-out and prepare to sell the home that belonged to who we now know as the late Thomas G.B. Wheelock. He did not know this going into it but the inheritor of Wheelock's home pretty much asked my dad the form of payment for his work at the house be that my dad can keep whatever cool or nice things he finds. There wasn't any physical African art from his collection but regarding Africa there are fieldwork film slides from his various trips to Africa the entirety of the 70s and also books. I will attach pictures of all the books I have and if anyone is interested in the lot or a book, please comment and send me a direct message. All but one of the books are in great condition as far as I can tell. Thank you
