I have an interest in medical books from the first half of the 20th Century. It's fascinating what you can find, even in books that have been passed through many sets of hands.

In one, I found a stockbrocker's letter and managed to trace the owner to his historic pubmed articles (all > 100 years old), as well as obituaries and probable descendants on WikiTree.
