I once found a handwritten personal letter, probably from the 1940s, tucked inside an old book I bought. Several older books I have are imprinted with the name of previous owners. Each old book has its own history, and even if you don’t know the whole story, if you own it you’re a part of it. It’s a really cool little glimpse into what Burke called the eternal contract of the dead, the living, and the yet to be born.
