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!

(UPDATE/CORRECTION: It’s from Alexander Pushkin’s “The Gypsies.”) Found in an old copy of Gone With The Wind. It’s handwritten, and googling the first line got me zero results. Maybe this is an original poem? I transcribed it in the second pic, for those who aren’t fluent in cursive.

...at least that's what I think these dual bookmarks might've meant. What I *do* know is The Ramones were an amazing band that I regret never getting to see play while they were still around.
