Things I Found in Books

Bookmark Book

I just came across a new book called Forgotten Bookmarks.* It is a collection of bookmarks found over the years by a book dealer named Michael Popek.

He also has a blog with images of some of these bookmarks. So my “things found in books” is hardly original. Since I have found different things in my books, it seems worthwhile to post them anyway.

My friend Matt keeps track of what he uses to mark his books

Hmmm … it turns out several people have at least been listing the things they have found in books:

And if you happen to leave something in a book you return to the Burlington Massachusetts Public Library, they may mount it on a bulletin board so you can claim it the next time you are in. But they do not display “inappropriate pictures.” Alas. Something tells me a librarian in Burlington is collecting these for private use.
