I collect books on Africa, African exploration, hunting, early missionary work, etc etc. I buy a ton of books off of ebay and its exciting when I open a package to find some interesting script written in a book or in this case, some script and a vintage post card sent from Central African Republic from the author to the same lady the book was inscribed too. I wish I new the backstory,
Sometimes I will exhaust hours trying to track down more information from nuggets like this. I actually met (and became good friends) with the great Jean Pierre Hallet because he inscribed a book from Bakersfield and I was able to track him down to Los Angeles back in the 90's.
So I opened Black Elephant Hunter by Kevin Duffy and in the front cover of the jacket (hidden) was a post card to Mrs Bonnie Dorr of Avatar inc. 760 N. La Cienega Los Angeles CA 90069, which is a business address and now a Hair Salon. Googling Bonnie and even Kevin Duffy has few results. Wonder if he is still alive?? Wonder what their story was... I love this stuff
