I have a very important book that was passed down and people who owned it had died, which didnt affect me, it made me treasure it more. But like Callaway says, it depends on the book etc, the significance, the relationship of the person to you etc, also would they have liked someone to keep that book and enjoy it the same way they did and so on.
Listen bottom line is Sorceress it could be worse, someone could have handed you the video from "the ring"
Sorry if that was making light of something you are worrying about.
