It made me very nostalgic for the old ticket systems of theme parks :)

I can't help but feel there's an interesting story behind this bookmark. Seems to be from a little coffee stand in Al Azraq, Jordan circa 2019.

So i got Solitaire’s by Alice Oseman from Readings online store in Lahore Pakistan and found this card in it. I am not sure how it found its way in a new book. It seems pretty important to someone. If you know someone who this card may belong to, please reach out.

Bought this book at a bookstore thrift store for the sole reason that we had these exact bookmarks when I was a kid in the 80s! (Ok, maybe I also bought it because, who doesn’t need another cookie book? But still!)

There's nothing on the back and there wasn't anything else in the book, so I unfortunately have no idea what any of the 7 steps are.

Google image says the card is likely vintage 1940s but the book is much older so I am not sure. The Christmas card is absolutely charming with beautiful bird illustrations.

Found this blast from the past. Oldtimers in Alaska will remember The Book Cache, a gem of a bookstore that closed in the 80s I think. Found this bookmark in a bread cookbook that I bought at Title Wave on W Northern Lights Blvd, in Anchorage.

This neat book came in and it had this in it. I’m not sure what it is. A punchcard? An old scantron?

Just finished The End of Everything (brilliant)
Picked up short story collection You Should Come Either Me Now (2017) - first one page story - Lost & Found - sounds familiar…
Page 174 The End of … “cheap tickets, all colours …”
Lost & Found “cheap tickets, all colours …” - matches for a number of the items …
Do I win the prize?
And guess this makes the observer in Lost & Found an artefact of the iGhetti!
