Mazon Monday #18: Langford Book Inscriptions

This is Mazon Monday post #18. 


Book inscriptions were much more common in the past.  As owner of a book, which was a valuable possession. you might add your name to the inner cover.  A recent Langford purchase by ESCONI member Roy Plotnick, reminded us of the historical significance of these inscriptions.  Many of the books are signed by George.  Please check your Langford books and send us anything interesting you might find.

This is Roy’s book.  It was presented to Mr. and Mrs. Lester Cunningham for a presentation they did on February 10th, 1961.

And, here is information about their presentation.

Dave Carlson has a copy that was owned by the first president of ESCONI, Bill Allaway!

Jack Wittry has John McLuckie’s copy!

Here is a book that was owned at one time by Jim Konecny.  I think I’ve seen at least two with his sticker.

All of the ESCONI gold editions had this note from George in 1958.

Another set of gold books were donated by Esconi Associates, who published the books.

These green edition books are owned by Ralph Jewell.

Send us your inscriptions!  We’d like to post more of them.  Thanks!
