I have a couple myself, but I will save them for future blog entrie. Thanks for visiting.<BR/><BR/>Eperanza: Maia Wojciechowska seems to be known for making shocking comments in her inscriptions. I have a couple (one of them was the subject of my early blog entry "My Favorite Christmas Present") in which used some R-rated language.

Got it at a church sale about 15 years ago. Copy of Mary Rodgers' A Billion for Boris. On the front endpaper is written "For Lisa, Love Aunt Gay and Uncle Charlie. Christmas, 1974. P.S. Without me, there'd be no page 150, 151 or 152...and Mary Rodgers will autograph this for you one day." The pages described are about a little girl named Gay. I had the opportunity to have Mary Rodgers sign the book for me and she wrote..."The inscription is written by Gay and Charlie Lord, very, very good friends of ours...Poor Lisa!"<BR/>Anyone else?skynychttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15488019149858410802noreply@blogger.com
