We inherited about 10 huge stamp albums, plus books about stamps etc. Went to 2 places, both offered about the same - £700.

You will probably do better with the stamp albums.
Do you have any stamp fairs in your area,or find out a specialist dealer to give you a valuation.
I have a lot that my late husband collected and will get around to it hopefully....it's what I plan anyway..

They are part of history but auction houses will rarely sell them because they know the buyers may well be neo-nazi groups.

You could sell privately, approach military book sellers and the like, or if you can bring yourself not to make money on them offer them to a museum?
