The book inscriptions project collects personal messages written inside books. From the about page: “Pictures count. So do poems. So do notes on paper found in a book. The more heartfelt the better. Send a copy of the cover and the inscription and any details about how, when and where you found it. The Book Inscriptions Project started in 2002 when I opened a book from the shelf of an underground Manhattan bar. The Road to ‘Human Destiny’: A Life of Pierre Lecomte Du Nouy by Mary Lecomte Du Nouy. Inside the book I found this inscription: ‘Joey, I love you so much! You have surpassed the definition for all. I will always cherish our orgasmic moments. love + resistance Mark.’ For whatever reason, I happened to open the book and saw the message from Mark to Joey. Something about that note, handwritten by an unknown to an unknown of whose whereabouts, gender and relationship I was unaware, struck me as both tragic and powerful. Since then I’ve been searching for more inscriptions and, after poring through thousands of books at garage sales, libraries and book sales, I now have a large and ever-growing collection.”
