RE: George Bernard Shaw
"Shaw once came across a copy of one of his works in a secondhand bookshop. Opening the volume, he found the name of a friend inscribed in his own hand on the flyleaf:
'To _____ with esteem, George Bernard Shaw.'
"He promptly bought the book and returned it to his friend, adding the inscription:
'With renewed esteem, George Bernard Shaw.' "
