Home Fires in France, by Dorothy Canfield | 
While looking for a good set of end papers to use for today's #readjanuary prompt, I came across this inscription in a first edition of the above book: "Charlotte H.G. Ripley, Merrymount, Tacoma Washington, 1919". It is so odd, sometimes, to look at my books and realize how many of them are nearly or over a century old!
rubyslippersreads I love the old inscriptions and bookplates in my vintage books. 8y
GlitteryOtters @rubyslippersreads me too! I had somehow forgotten about the inscription in this one (I remembered it was a 1918 first edition, but forgot about that inscription!) 8y
Joanne1 So cool. How many hands have turned those pages? 8y
