#AllAroundTheWorld #RedRoseSeptember
Vaguely song related anecdote: we got married at Rochdale Town Hall and my husband went for a couple of prenuptial pints at the Baum nearby and Lisa Stansfield was in there. He says she was talking loudly about herself which quite frankly is fair enough.

I have a question for you, littens. I'm giving this book as a birthday present to a very close friend. What are people's thoughts about inscriptions on the inside cover? Does that add something special to the gift or does it just detract from the quality? HELP!

Yeah_I_Read My mom wrote inscriptions on the books she gave me when I was a kid and I love knowing that I will always have that to remember her by. 7y
KCorter I love inscriptions! I will even choose a book with an inscription over a plain one at used bookstores. It adds something special to the book and makes me feel linked to other readers. This is the same reason I miss the due date stamps in library books. I vote for the inscription. 😊 7y
readordierachel @Yeah_I_Read That is so lovely! I never thought of it that way, as a memento of someone. I think I'll steal that idea and do that for my daughter. ☺ 7y

Yeah_I_Read @ReadOrDieRachel yeah she did it on nice books she gave me for days or xmas. I'm sentimental lol. I think it's a nice touch 😊 7y
readordierachel @KCorter Oh, good point!! It tells a story, doesn't it, of the person who had it before you? I miss those library date stamps too. 7y
readordierachel @Yeah_I_Read It is a nice touch! You and @KCorter have both convinced me that inscriptions are the way to go. Thanks!! 7y
mrozzz Definitely do it! Agreed with @KCorter 7y
readordierachel @mrozzz I will! I'm convinced ☺ 7y
Debiw781 I still treasure books my aunt Katherine gave me with inscriptions and mourn the ones I stupidly traded or lost along the way. 7y
readordierachel @Debiw781 Transcriptions seem to have a lot of meaning for people. It's nice. Hopefully the ones you lost are making someone else happy at least ☺ 7y
rachellayown Yes to transcriptions!! 👍 7y
readordierachel @rachellayown Seems to be a consensus! 😊 7y
