ITS NOT THE BOOK THATS INTERSTING.. ITS THE INSCRIPTION INSIDE!!
INSCRIBED BY MARGRET M. LATHROP( MARGARET SIDNEY) OR ( HARRIET STONE LATHROP)
SHE MENTIONS THAT SHE INSCRIBED THE BOOK IN THE VERY SAME ROOM THAT HAWTHORNE WROTE TANGLEWOOD TALES .
THE ROOM IS IN HIS HOME " THE WAYSIDE" WHICH IN EARLIER TIMES WAS THE HOME OF BRONSON ALCOTT, FATHER TO LOUISA MAY ALCOTT.
LATHROP FAMILY PURCHASED THE HOME LATERR ON.
SHE DATED THE INSCRIPTION ON JULY FOURTH 1955 AT THE WAYSIDE INN, CONCORD MASSACHUSETTES.
I WONDER IF THERE IS ANY VALUE BECAUSE OF HER SIGNATURE

Unsolved Mystery

    Probably more interesting than valuable. Would be great paired with her book "Wayside - Home of Authors" Abe.com lists a signed copy as high as $45.
