After being startled that there's a book on How to Sharpen Pencils, my brain immediately started noting interesting features:
* Translation of a Latin work into French published in Germany
* Title page in red and black.
* Engraved image on title page.
* Engraved initial leaf.
* Bound in leather, possibly contemporary, edges possibly gilt
* Autographed by an English-speaking female owner (of a book in French published in Germany) ding ding ding ding ding ding
