George H Hitching's Copy of Julius Caeser 1917

By ZenHaltija, 11 March, 2011
Description

I have not had this verified to be sure that this was owned by the Nobel Prize winner George H Hitchings or not. What I do know is that his address from Seattle was written on the inside and he had written his initials all over the inside of the book, even poked holes in one of the pages.

There is a strange symbol that he did have of the G and the H combined. He had written on the inside that the book was from the eighth grade. Actually it appears to be written "8 B Grade".

It is also written on the back of the book "Geo H Hitchings is A Reading". There are also numerous notes taken within the book.

This is my greatest prized possession but if it is worth it I am willing to sell it.

History
All I know about this item is that I had purchased the book from a used book store in Shelton, WA on a whim. When I came home I was looking through the item I found the initials, autographs, and his name written all over the book with the address inside.
