Old books are wonderful, but when you can find a little of the history behind them they are even better! <br /> The Sherlock Holmes one though, that is an exciting discovery!! (I look for old books to, and the dates in them. If is fun, to see if there are any little notes in them from the original owner or gift giver. It makes them even more special.)Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04395502314886308773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9111892212177038047.post-70293885713384854852014-04-06T13:00:02.120-07:002014-04-06T13:00:02.120-07:00You're quite the detective, Nancy Drew! I lov...You're quite the detective, Nancy Drew! I love how you actually looked up all this information and became an expert on it. And I /love/ finding old books at shops and sales, both garage sales and estate sales. Though most of the time I end up getting books from used book stores (or amazon), not estate sales (although I do have an old edition of the Hobbit or two, and an old copy of Great Expectations, though both of which are paperback).<br />Tell us about the last Sherlock Holmes novel once you finish it! Anything mysterious or outstanding about it? <br />In one of the copies of the Hobbit that I have, the name Bill Perkins was in it. But when I first saw it, the writing was kind of weird looking so it ALMOST looked like it said Bilbo Baggins. Isn't that cool!Emilyn J Cloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00892659942186331664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9111892212177038047.post-60761332202459946542014-04-06T11:27:14.188-07:002014-04-06T11:27:14.188-07:00I love old books.
