I buy loads of second hand books (although not on your scale) and used to think that I was the only person who was even slightly interested in the things between the leaves. Now I see I'm not, so might start keeping a note! I also donate a lot of books back to charity shops and I'm sure I must have left my own receipts, cards, bookmarks etc in them over the years. Lovely site too.Jessica at BookAddictionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08605460364524485458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8163423095612471504.post-28363916327327703092012-03-05T02:39:15.523-05:002012-03-05T02:39:15.523-05:00I love going thru old books for comments in the ma...I love going thru old books for comments in the margins or inscriptions etc in the beginning.

I had come across a "baby book," a little book you can buy when your baby is born so you can record stats, measurements, first words, locks of hair, etc. With the help of @geneabloggers, we were able to track down a relative. The book was from the 1920s.Michael Popekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06083697912791290450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8163423095612471504.post-38002980803406589602009-10-19T13:33:35.748-04:002009-10-19T13:33:35.748-04:00Michelle, the closest we've come so far is fro...Michelle, the closest we've come so far is from this bookmark:<br /><br />http://www.forgottenbookmarks.com/2009/03/inge.html<br /><br />The original artist, Inge Kern, found the posting.Michael Popekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06083697912791290450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8163423095612471504.post-80361785496175666402009-10-19T13:03:53.397-04:002009-10-19T13:03:53.397-04:00I really love your blog and wonder if you've h...I really love your blog and wonder if you've had any one lay "claim " to photo's or anything else from your postings?Michelle Frae Cummingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01045848080463065234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8163423095612471504.post-6973834201984975972009-10-19T00:47:57.755-04:002009-10-19T00:47:57.755-04:00I enjoy the blog and think the idea of posting thi...I enjoy the blog and think the idea of posting things that people have left behind is quite poignant. At the risk of being a pedant, though, can I raise something that irks me just a tad? Your heading (and commentary) about the "most unique" bookmark you've found qualifies an absolute. Something's either unique or it isn't. Hope you (and your readers) take this comment in the spirit in which it's intended, namely, to make something great even greater!Guy Aronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00178412788745855166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8163423095612471504.post-79204699428940925502009-10-18T20:17:12.638-04:002009-10-18T20:17:12.638-04:00I'm so glad you did this post.

I absolutely love bookmarks and I find your blog fascinating and entertaining. Thank you for sharing your treasures with a wider audience!<br /><br />I've been thinking about contacting you for some time, so now seems to be the right time to tell you that I'd like to send you a custom bookmark as thanks for entertaining me so well. If you are interested in this, you can contact me through my blog.<br /><br />Your <i>Handwritten Recipes</i> is another of my favorites.
