<p>[QUOTE=&quot;yourturntoloveit, post: 239566, member: 57&quot;]I found books at two sale locations:&nbsp; .&nbsp; One was an estate sale in the house of a deceased woman and the other was a great sale at a second-hand book store (<u>not</u> a &quot;chain&quot; bookstore).</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is just a <u>small</u> sampling of the interesting books I found.&nbsp; All of the listed books are <u>hardbacks</u> and in good or <u>even better</u> condition (all three of these were from the deceased individual&#039;s household estate sale).</p><p><br /></p><p><u>Decorum</u> A Practical Treatise on Etiquette and Dress of the Best American Society.&nbsp; Chicago:&nbsp; J. A. Ruth &amp; Co. 1878 (Entered according to Act of Congress in the year 1877, by J. A. Ruth &amp; Co., In the Office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington.) 352 numbered pages.&nbsp;&nbsp; There was also this most interesting (at least to me) statement printed in the &quot;Preface&quot;:&nbsp; &quot;No one no matter how influential, or occupying a position however exalted, could presume to dictate rules for the conduct of others, and at the same time retain their esteem and friendship; for this reason the name of the author of this book is withheld.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p><u>Sabrina Hackett</u>, by Emily L. Saybrook, The Prize Series, Boston, D. Lothrop &amp; Co., 38 &amp; 40 Cornhill (1869) 409 numbered pages.</p><p><br /></p><p><u>Bede&#039;s Charity</u> by Hesba Stretton, New York:&nbsp; Dodd &amp; Mead, No. 762 Broadway.&nbsp; 1872.&nbsp; 311 numbered pages.&nbsp; On the first blank page before the title page is a beautifully handwritten in ink note:&nbsp; &quot;For Emily G Baker from her friend E. A. Crenshaw&nbsp; Christmas 1872&quot;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
