Bookplates.

My FOL find of the month. Picked up a book for personal reading ... almost didn't because of condition, and then decided yes because of subject matter and fair scarcity of the book : Sakya Buddha: A Versified, Annotated Narrative of his Life and Teachings by E. D. Root, an American Buddhist, published in 1880 in N. Y. by Charles P. Somerby, didn't look further through it at the sale, but upon getting home and culling through my findings, realised this : There is a nice gift inscription from the author in his hand. But there was more: This is sort of quite satisfying. One of my favorite nineteenth century souls.
