Mary Lou's Copy of Addams and Evil by Charles Addams

Mary Low's copy of Addams and Evil (1947) was personalized for her a decade after publication by cartoonist Charles Addams. He included an original drawing of the Addams Family member we know today as Uncle Fester. He is mostly hidden behind a block of text, but what is revealed is worthy of note.
