Price?

 

Offers for the book are being accepted at LIA0076@aol.com.

 

The celebrity factor and historical nature of the signatures makes this a more collectible version of this book. Many of the names can be found on Google. Two copies are being offered on amazon for $65 and $92 but no special names are noted. I am still researching a few of the names but many are Cope family siblings and affluent hotel guests from Bucks County, PA, Philadelphia and some from New Jersey. The photos on Google offer a visual of Fred and Adele's age when they signed the book.

 

Thanks for your interest :)

Just a few days ago I came across this book in a junk store in Sebastopol, CA and bought it for $10.00. The book belonged to Alma May Clendenny, age 28, it was given to her for Christmas 1910. My copy is completely full, with a few signatures done on the back of some pages--45 signatures in all. Date ranges from 1910 to 1928. My interest in it was from a genealogist view point. I have located the people on the 1910 US Census, North Hempstead, Nassau, New York. I think it would be fun to find the descendants and give them a copy of their ancestors page.

Lovely idea!

 

I may start a Moleskine for this purpose. I think I would just fold the page prior to having someone sign it and so on.

 

Should be fun.

I am thinking the same thing!

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
