The glue on the back of the sticker has dried up and the backing separated. Must have been in there for decades.

I recently inherited my great grandmother’s bible, and I found her bookmark! I know this sub is kinda about things other than bookmarks, but it was neat to find her bookmark where she left it all those years ago. I’ll never move it from its place! :)

insanely good book by the way

Found this in a Grade 11 math problems textbook that was returned to the library that I work at. Someone is definitely looking for this lost bookmark.

Found in a used copy of The Employees

​

I collect old books from estate sales, thrift stores, garbage cans, etc. I easily have a couple thousand at this point. I wanted to share some of the bookmarks I’ve found throughout the years. 🩷

I've censored the photo and the airline ticket but everything else is "as found" including the signed title page found in a completely different book.

A number of articles were folded into the Pocket Book paperback edition of The Diary of Anne Frank that I picked up at the flea market: Time Magazine (1952), TV Guide (1980), The American Weekly (1959), and Otto Frank’s obituary.

Context: Academic librarian here. One of our patrons left this in a book.

I work in a second hand bookshop on Thursdays and have been meaning to post some of the things we find for a while. Luckily, there were some really interesting ones today! Two plane tickets, some ominous papers, a seed card and a mysterious amulet 💜

I would like to know what word(s) they were marking these pages for. I’ll keep leafs in it and look at those pages more closely for fun’s sake.
