It is 12:00 do you know where your books are...
| Amanda asks in her blog - Where have your used books been?. I thought it was an amusing thought. Do you ever wonder? Where your book was? Who owned it? I have found a few things in my books, so I am very careful now when I take in books to flip through them to make sure I haven't left anything behind. Things I have found: photos - twice in one book there were three pics and in the other it was just some guy instructions for cleaning a vibrator a grocery list receipts - this happens often coupon paper with a name with a phone number a short personal note postcard Now I am pretty sure whoever was reading the book, needed a bookmark and just picked up what was handy but it was amusing none the less. And taught me to always check my books ;). |

I love books with a history (as long as that history doesn't include strange stains or smells). I know it will sound strange to those for whom having books in a pristine condition is important, but I kind of like it when my used books have stamps from UBSs, former owners' signatures, assorted papers inside... Often when I trade, I leave pieces of paper like receipts, bus tickets and so on, and I imagine somewhere along the line thinking "wow, my book's been to Uruguay!" ;-)
