Pretty cool looking book, right?
Or is it?
That's Fonzie cool.
Of course, there was a forgotten bookmark inside:
It's a business card:
SEVEN-UP BOTTLING COMPANY
JOSEPH A. CHAMBERS
TROY NY
Phone Troy 7
Found in a book that's really a lighter.
Thanks, Dad.

Super cool!
ROFL! You have a cool dad. :-)
When I was a kid, he used to get me things like beer bottle flashlights (like this one: http://bit.ly/dbVNOw)
...in other words, this is nothing new :)
i love this -- brings a whole new meaning to the term "altered book." now i'm going to want one, too.
That is really neat. I wonder if they still make such novelty things and, if so, where can you get them?! Hmmm...
I had to check if there was one on eBay - there is!

Hm, that one is in really nice shape - and in original box!
I love that it says "Book" on the spine. Not left blank, but nothing creative about a title either.
My younger brother-in-law made himself a book 'safe' (hideyhole) when he was in high school, so I'm familiar with those, but I've never seen a book lighter!
LOVE that you said, "Fonzie Cool." Made my day. :)
This is beyond awesome. Now we just need one that is secretly a flask and we'll be set!
awesome!!!!!
