As discusdsed on this list earlier, I ordered the Anglicko-Cesky Cesko-Anglicky dictionary a while ago. I was able to find a used one through Alibris in 1971. Much to my surprise, when flipping from the front the back cover, I found a note written by someone who must have sent the dictionary to someone else ass a gift??? The envelop has no names but on the front are: 697-4924, which is probably someone's telephone number! In Czech Republic?? The note is written on 8-1/2 X 11 page which is folded in half, I am guessing. The note is a thank you for the gift which they got from Paris, and a letter with Christmas Greetings. The note is addressed to: Elena, David and Victor, and signed by Lida/Luda and Valdemara or could be Valdimasa. There is a note about the writer almost ready to move into their house. And they ended by saying that Czechoslovakia has not been yet. We are two republics now -- Czech Republic and Slovak Republic. Vaclav Havel was elected the president of CR. There is no date on anywhere, and the only clue is Havel's presidency, which was (according to Google site) February, 1993 - February, 2003. I would not mind sending this note to the individuals mentioned. I will keep it in the dictionary until such time as I hear from someone. Shortly after receiving my dictionary, I received a copy as a gift that was still encased in the plastic covering, which was published in 2005. It says: Dotisk (reissue, reimpression, new impression) prvniho (not in dictionary) vydani (published), 2005. Sorry to be so wordy!
