In the SDSU Library Catalog, when you click into each book title, you will find more information about each title. If you look under LOCAL NOTES, often you will find Gorey's own reading notes that were written in his own hand on his books. For example, "San Diego State University Library's copy: in Edward Gorey's handwriting on inside of back cover: 11.xii.94 [i.e., acquired Dec. 11, 1994]." This means that Gorey acquired this book on this date. Other book records indicates dates that Gorey read each book, sometimes the date she began reading, and finished reading it, or reread it. In the LOCAL NOTES field you will also find information about any notes Gorey made in the book or materials he tucked away in the leaves of a book.
