@luciusbooks.bsky.socialA signed book is not always just a signed book.
In the world of antiquarian books, small differences in an inscription or provenance can tell us much more about a book’s history.
Next time you come across an inscription, you might look at it differently.

@nicolascgrey.bsky.socialAs with all Soviet school books in national languages, it mixes images of local life with political education.
These books, designed for small minority languages, had very low print runs, in this case just 1000 copies, making the book a rare and interesting find. #rarebooks #Soviet #eskimo
