First edition of Hours of Idleness with hand written notes by Byron on a book he was reading at the time, tucked in the front!  |

Indeed  I also own this, a fragment of a letter so scandalous in nature that it was one of the ones his friends 'destroyed' after his death  |

That is SOOOOO cool. Do you know what the rest of the letter says?
Edit: Haha, that sound quite silly. I was just thinking that maybe other people had other pieces you could fit together like a puzzle.

Thank you I am floored every time i have held the letters, which isn't often as they are fragile, etc. |

Supposedly the pieces are out there but, without a signature, how would anyone realise what they are? |
