I picked up this early 1929 edition of 'All Quiet on the Western Front' from a charming independent book shop in Nottingham and was delighted to find this incredibly beautiful message on the inside cover. It brings up so many questions about the original owner of this fantastic book. Who was Clement? Was this a gift to him, or did he give it to another? I'd love to know the answer to these questions, but of course, it will be impossible to know. This book has now become a true treasure of mine.
