  1. How fascinating! I always look for these types of things when looking in vintage books, but I never find anything.

  3. Madelene, I wouldn't find anything for years until I started frequenting a specific Salvation Army... I believe they simply neglect looking through pockets or don't manipulate the books too much so things don't fall off. So far, I've found: one photomaton picture, one yellow 'ticket for one entry', one letter, two lists. But Hannah-Rose, that map beats everything I've found so far!
