<p>[QUOTE="anundverkaufen, post: 153232, member: 49"]My favorite changes all the time as I buy several books a month. I do have an all time favorite though, "Thunder & Lightning and Sudden Deaths at Marshfield in 1658 & 1666", by Nathaniel B. Shurtleff (Mayor of Boston 1867) autographed and limited to 100 copies.</p><p>It doesn't have much monetary value but it was given to me by George Gloss at Brattle Book Shop in Boston when I was 10 years old in 1977, my Dad and I were regulars in his shop and he new I was from Marshfield. I didn't really know who Shurtleff was until a few weeks later while walking through Memorial Hall at Harvard I saw a large Marble memorial plaque honoring him in the main hall. Right away I ran over to Brattle Books very excited and told George about the Plaque, he acted excited with me but was probably laughing inside.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
