As a professional used book dealer I could provide an expert valuation...

Although it looks like they got close to what I'd expect to pay for 2000 ex-libris books on "cooking, crafts, and animals" from thrift stores or library sales. And on average what I'd be able to sell them for.

Read it when I was at good old Concord-Carlisle HS in the 70s. Thought I was a revolutionary or something.

As someone who works in a library, we'd be charging a lot more for the value of those books. Something on the order of $35,000-50,000. Granted, that reflects the value of the book as new, since that would be the cost of a replacement for us. Then, if they'd been checked out, tack on a $25 fee for our trouble (instead of the usual $5 late fee after a 10-day grace period).

I love his work.

Authorities searched the Vista home of Maria Natar, 44, and found an estimated 2,000 books from Carlsbad and San Diego County libraries - most of which were about cooking, crafts, and animals.

So, that's, like, what, 642, 646, and 636 in Dewey Decimal terms?

Before I read the article, I was expecting it to be about someone who was on a personal censorship crusade to remove the "filth" from the public library.
