We were here, and we had a book.

Joseph G. Dittrich
There are names in my books. What's up with that? Who are these people?
Nice Hannes Bok bookplate. Who is Joseph G. Dittrich? Google!
"Uncle Joe in his Science Fiction Study." Must be the guy!
Am I the only one who looks up bookplate people?
George Strafford Mills
Earle Bettinger and Mrs. Israel Witkower
A Keeler!
To Earle Bettinger from Mrs. Israel Witkower
Presumably the wife of Israel Witkower (1889-1968), proprietor of Witkower's Books in Hartford. I find that one "Earl Bettinger" is the husband of author Lillian Jackson Braun. Is he a Keeler reader? Do Siamese cats connect Braun to Keeler?
Shock! I find that Braun died six days ago at the age of 97. Who knew?!
