Somehow I feel a kinship with those who have read the book before, and I wonder if they enjoyed it as much as I did, or if they cried or laughed or sighed on the same pages. That is so wonderful. Thank you for sharing it with us.Pamela M.

I have found a few things - a postcard, a train ticket, occasionally a shopping list or a cutting from an old newspaper, but I really love the handwritten inscriptions and the pencil notes in margins, just as I like books which have obviously lived a life before I bought them. Three cheers for books!
