Default Washed Books ?



Hi Alice,

What is the difference between removing library stamp and proof of
ownership ?

The book is 400 years old. The binding was done in 1800s. There is no
other marking on ownership besides 2 initials U. B. on the book spine.

Considering the book conditions, which one would you pick ?

Thanks,

Calvin

By the way, the cut-out in the title page is to remove the library
stamp.

That sounds odd. Are you sure the book was properly deaccessioned? Maybe
that cutout was to remove proof of ownership.

Alice
