Somebody has died, and there are books.

Four boxes down from the loft, and everyone in the family has always said the leather ones in the front room were worth something.

They almost certainly are not. Victorian Britain printed Bibles, sermons and encyclopaedias by the million, and they survived precisely because they looked too grand to throw away. Scarcity is not created by age. It is created by things being thrown away, which is why the book that is actually worth money is usually a novel from the last fifty years that looks like nothing at all.
