[quote=Anonymous]Sorry, OP but that's a shitty "tradition" disguised as an enormous burden. I'm a bibliophile and have been the executor of my grandparents' and never-married great uncle's estates. All lived into their mid-80s and had accumulated a lifetime of belongings, some valuable, some worthless. At least you have some lead time. Start a conversation w/ DH and maybe his parents with a concrete plan, as other PP suggested: get it appraised, now, on site. Maybe your ILs would be willing to go through some of the collection to cull it a little or a lot? What if (and only if you are personally interested) you asked to look through and take a few books you know you'd want to keep/read/enjoy/display now? No way should you accept 30k books or even entertain the idea of building a house or library large enough to accommodate this all. I'm a bibliophile and did not keep every single book I inherited. Many I just use as props for their interesting old fonts on the spines.[/quote]
