I love this book from his Mamma.
To me it’s pure sweetness.
I love old things. All sorts of things.
Especially books.
And I love the inscriptions on the insides of the faded pages.
Merry Christmas.
Happy Birthday.
Just a simple name and a date.
I wonder who the people were and
how their books ended up in used book stores.

Lovely! I have a number of my mother’s and grandmother’s books. You’ve inspired me to photograph the inscriptions.
