i once bought a book in a charity shop
that had an inscription "to x, hope you enjoy my book! all my love - the author xxx"

i am guessing that the fact it was in a charity shop meant that x did not enjoy the book.

and nor did i, it was fucking shit.

My brother's godfather ( the one who was chaplain to the Queen)
always used to send him one of the following:
a) some shit from the Windsor Castle giftshop
b) something he himself had written
c) a book someone else gave him (usu. inscribed as such) and batted on. Sometimes with a bookmark halfway through and/or notes in the margins
