Re: "rare" books in H.S.

Laura,

My library too has very old books, like 1st ed. of classic fiction, some
dated before 1900.  It is my understanding that rare book dealers don't
usually buy/like books with library ownership stamps in them.

I would like to hear from you if anyone gives you a great answer to this
query.

Thank you.
