in my ancient copy of peter pan, i was shocked to find
a pristine coupon that is almost as old as i am.
note the expiration date:
may of 1984!!!
my friend kristen told me that the brookline booksmith posts
their similar "finds of the week," which i just had to check out.
have you ever found anything noteworthy in an old book?
here are some faves from the bb archives:
SO fun! I have not found anything interesting yet :(

Oh how lovely! I read a book a few months ago, and found a boarding pass from a trip my Dad took years and years ago. I love to think of memories stored in books. I loved the old library cards with the date stamps of when a book was checked out, making each reader a part of the book's personal history. Great post!
ReplyDeleteThat's really cool. I love finding flat flowers in old books - remember when people used to do that?
ReplyDeleteThats so amazing! I've found a couple of pressed flowers in books I've bought used but nothing too exciting.
