Thrifting Treasures - Author Signed Book

My name is Matt and I have a problem. If you helped me move a couple of weeks ago, you might have notices approximately 6-7 heavy boxes with the word "BOOKS" written on the top. And if you think that is a lot of books, please take into account that before packing I made a point to donated almost half of my collection. Books in my possession fall into three general categories: Books for Reading, Books for Crafting, and Books for Display. The Stolen Spoon Mystery by Irene Bowen, which I found in a local thrift store, falls neatly into the "Display" category.

The characteristic that attracts me to most of my Display/Crafting books is the cover. In this instances, I liked not only the cover, but also the color, and the slightly peculiar title. Upon further inspection of this book, I happened upon an interesting inscription and clip out.

So I looked at the inscription, then at the clipping, and then back to the inscription, then at the clipping, and then back to the inscription, then at the clipping, and then back to the inscription, then at the clipping, and then I realized, this "Irene Bowen" was mentioned in both, and was likely the same person! So I bought the book for $2. Then I wrote a sub par blog about it.

The End.
