Tidings of a potential Jane Austen low variation that constitute its way to a down of debris in Southward Carolina has reminded me of my own serendipitous used finds – and the odd legerdemain of strangers’ inscriptions Deliver you institute a large lettering? Ploughshare its photo – and report – hither There’s petty improve than a near used bookstall, and erstwhile inside its sacred walls, there’s lilliputian that is more fun than stumbling crosswise a enceinte old dedication.

Flowage – no recounting, as far as I’m cognizant (although wouldn’t that be large) – was a pupil at Ayer High in Massachusetts. The re-create of Suasion was institute in a box of “junk” in a needlefish by one Alice B Bantle of Pawleys Island, Southward Carolina, the Boston Earth reports , with the curly-lettered dedication: “Prize speechmaking, Ayer Highschool, May 17 1900, Low booty, Lillian M Flood”.
