#bookplates So the story on Jimmy Starr , he wrote screenplays and was a columnist in Hollywood, when Valentino died ,Jimmy acquires his bookplate & adds his name to it.I bought this book from an antiquarian bookseller when I was in high school.I got the other book at a library sale .Looked up the modest house in Burlingame which had sold for huge money fairly recently as Bay Area California real estate often does.😂 @LeahBergen
KVanRead We used to live one town over from Burlingame and spent a lot of time there. We loved the park right near that street when the kids were small. And yes the houses all cost oodles now 😔 (edited) 5y
LeahBergen Wow! These are fascinating. 👏🏻👏🏻 5y
ValerieAndBooks I‘ve done that too — look up addresses, not just names in books 😂 5y
Lcsmcat I love finding bookplates in books I buy secondhand. That‘s a great story about Valentino, but the plate on the left is adorable. 5y
Leftcoastzen @Lcsmcat Isn‘t it sweet! I love that bookplates add to the history of the secondhand book.There were some great designs! 5y
