I bet that there would be a huge net benefit to starting up and organising a donations campaign for such a trust. A website, some volunteers, a consistent donations policy, and a little legwork to get some PR out in the scientific press would go a long way.
I doubt it. More often then not grandchildren have no idea that grandfather once published a book unless there was a ton of unsold copies cluttering up the basement.
Probably true, though there are those of us who are periodically reminded in a very pleasant way that our grandfathers once published books.
George, I would very happily take advantage of your trust. I am actively investigating ways to set free my grandfather's books that are currently out of print. (Those that are still in print are doing very nice things for his great-grandkids' college funds, so I will greedily retain my copyrights to them for now.)
