At the library, I was told the book found in the Normandie Apartments was indeed donated to them, but I won’t be able to see it because it’s being restored. All they could tell me was that it is about China, written by a foreigner and published in 1944, but they also allowed me to take pictures of their screen with the book’s cover on it.
I have no more leads now. It seems the architectural plans led me to the Normandie Apartments, which in turn led me to the library and that’s it. So, all I have left now are pictures of the book cover and the different signatures on the map, one of them being “Eves”.
Let’s focus on this book, and try to find out what’s the title of the book. Could you help with that? I’m sure the author might be someone of interest. Is she/he connected to Victor Sassoon?
I have the feeling someone is following me now. I felt that already while discussing with the lady at the Normandie Apartments but I wasn’t so sure.
UPDATE:
I remembered that in the notebook Rose gave me she included a piece of information I already had, which is the partial architectural plan, so I checked it again thoroughly and I found an extra information. Someone actually wrote on a paper while it was on top of the plan and it left some marks on the map. I just used a pencil to highlight the indent left on the paper and it says.
Ok, so we found out the book is “China to me” written by Emily Hahn in 1944, how this extra information could help us?
