I received a wonderful gift yesterday, one that has had me hooked ever since. I hope to write more details on the surprise party where I got the gift in an upcoming post, but for now, I just cannot wait to show off this brilliant gift: a limited edition, published for members only version of the 1904 imprint of Sir William Osler’s masterpiece: Aequanimitas. The book, its hide cover with gold embellishing and gilded pages is right out of a dream. The previous owner, Dr. Quentin D. Young, MD, (who happened to be a bit of a celebrity himself) has kept the book in immaculate shape, down to the small paper tag where his name is printed by the Medical Classics Library that sent him the book.
