Ownership Book Inserts in the Personal Library System of E. S. Shurygin, Intellectual of the Sixties

The article is devoted to inserts/attachments to books in personal library. Thay are one of the forms of reading practices of library owners. The personality of E. S. Shurygin as a non-standard owner has had an important role in this study. Most of the inserts were found in his poetry books. In addition to thematic inserts, there was a group of biographical inserts. In general, we can talk about inserts/ attachments as a sign system with cultural codes of the personality of its owner – an intellectual of the sixties. E. S. Shurygin’s late passion for esotericism and Buddhism brought the existence of his personal library and its functioning to another level.
