As Bad As Ever

To Amit,

Together in struggle…
if only “the facts”
were relevant…

Glad to be by your
side – and to have
you by mine.

and spring shall come book inscription

2-27-1972

To: Candle Light
A special thought for a
special someone, who
makes me glow, and
smile, and always
brings the best out of me.
A sort of inspiration.

Always,
Annie Grapefruit

P.S. I’m hoping you’re going to
be all right. I’m kind
of worried! Take care.
O.K.?

….And Spring Shall Come by Dean Walley

homage to catalona book inscription

I can take all the maddness
the world has to give,
but I won’t last a day without
you.

Homage to Catalonia by George Orwell

Thanks to Kaila, who says:
“I picked up this book by chance in a used book store in my
hometown a few months ago. I wasn’t really looking for any book in
particular, but I had a bunch of trade in credits to use. Since I
liked 1984, I picked this up. I was almost finished with the book
before I noticed the inscription.”

I like it. :)

Gertrude, You Are Honest

Autobiography of Alice B Toklas book inscription

Gertrude, you are
honest.
I love you
I love your sentences
And sometimes you are
a paragraph.
I love you with my mind
(and secretly feel a good
deal of mystical
sentiments)
And I am grateful to
you because I am a
disciple, and disciples
are grateful.
You are snob, but you are
in love with the expression
of truth. And I love you.

The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas by Gertrude Stein

Thanks to Kristin, who says:
“I think your project is absolutely fantastic. I spend probably
too many hours searching through bookstores for good finds,
and end up buying plenty for just the inscription.

All of the books are from Dogstar Books in Lancaster, PA.”
