The Arabian Nights - Tales from a Thousand and One Nights Sir Richard F. Burton (Translator)
To my dearest Sonia
We’ve had our own 1,000 and 1 nights of marriage – more or less. Three years already! I still discover things about you I love each day, or rediscover: your constancy, your generosity, your sense of justice. I count myself a lucky man to have found you, and I hope it lasts as many years as we can count.
I love you,
Tom

Very depressing to see that a book with such a heartfelt inscription ended up at a second-hand bookshop. One wonders why.
Agreed. This is one of the more heartbreaking finds…
*in a second-hand bookshop
Expectation for book gifts has skyrocketed.
