Bent corners, warn parts, underlining and check marks, dirty end papers, all the hall mark of a read book.
Here is the 1980 Signet Classic Moby-Dick that is inscribed G. Eric Lilja Mallory house . Actually G. Eric Lilja wrote his name in 3 locations, just to be sure that this book screams "Belongs to me!".
Maybe Mallory House is the same house of that name at Oberlin College. There is a small linkage between Albany NY and Oberlin. Perhaps someday Eric will stumble on the post or some one who knows him, and comment. That would be brilliant! Please do.
Eric underlined and noted in the margins in a very elegant creative and precise hand. The kind of handwriting that TMDC adores.
