It's a copy of W.E.B. DuBois's Souls of Black Folk, personally inscribed by DuBois to Kenneth Clark (who lived here in this village). Clark then inscribed it to his daughter. The bookseller had bought a batch of books from the Clark house and not long after, his building was significantly damaged by fire, and this book suffered major water damage.
