<p>[QUOTE=&quot;2manycats, post: 9565164, member: 13761&quot;]Ah, what HAVEN&#039;T I found in books.... I always flip through as I&#039;m going through a buy to check for underlining or highlighting, and all the inserted stuff shows up, too. Family photos, letters, and cash I hand over to the offerer, most other stuff I keep or bin. Unless I&#039;m at a library sale, then I keep it all, including a sheaf of $100 bills in a pocket paperback. Lots of leaves, including marijuana, once a tiny packet of white powder; condoms (still packaged, thanks be), lots of bookstore bookmarks, which I kept until an employee took them home to make herself a decorative collage, other bookmarks including those leather ones I dislike, once a fancy sterling silver one. A nazi armband with some facsimile Hitler portraits - yecch. Cartoons, newspaper clippings, once easily over 100 notes on paper scraps throughout the book, sort of a dialogue by the reader with the author. One guy used dozens of sticky notes and those little metal &#039;page pointers&#039; in each book instead of writing in them, which I appreciated, but it was still some work removing them. Strips of cloth, ribbons, campaign paper, a scarce Columbian Expo Blarney Stone card I got over $100 for on eBay, startling myself. I&#039;ve heard stories of strips of bacon and banana peels, but never personally encountered those, at least.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
