Tucked inside this volume poetry are one dozen four leaf clovers, saved by one incredibly lucky reader.

A rather humorous collage of words from late-'60s/early-'70s adult advertising pamphlets and magazines. They were found in a collection I'm currently pricing. #TBT #ThrowbackThursday #ThingsFoundInBooks It was clearly a different era! Some are interesting from a graphic design perspective. If you like these, you should see where they came from! I'm not hashtagging the words, but some are difficult to see; so, all the blurbs in this image are as follows: INTRODUCTION—THE MOST CLASSIC OF ALL CLASSICS . . . . that is the female figure. From the earliest artistic expression of man through the greatest age of the arts, the renaissance, and as today, the beautiful lines of a beautiful woman have remained the ideal of what is art. It is to that beauty, that grace, that ideal that this volume is dedicated. – GIRLS A GO GO! – HOUSE of EXOTICS – STRIPPER PARTY – PRIVATE PHOTO COLLECTION – GEE WHIZ – Bombshells of BURLESQUE – WRESTLING GIRL GANGS – FILMS – YOU MUST ORDER NOW!

Sometimes the best thing about a book is that small thing found within:

With a color block-printed box label from American Print-Works pasted-in

[Box label in book – American Print-Works (Fall River, Mass.)]; Lea, Elizabeth E. Domestic Cookery, useful receipts, and hints to young housekeepers. Third edition. Baltimore: Cushings and Bailey, 1851. Octavo (19.5 x 12 cm.), viii, 310 pages. Styled “Third Edition”; the third edition, first printing (two additional printings were issued that year. 

Originally published in 1845, the book found its final form in this third edition. An early Quaker cookbook, joining works in the same period by Mrs. Widdifield, and Mrs. Nicholson. Food historian William Woys Weaver notes that this book does not wear its Quakerism on its sleeve but reaches for a wider audience. Foxing throughout, but sound, in original green cloth, gilt- and blind-stamped. With the ownership inscription, "Ms Susan J[?] Barnes' Book, Oak Orchard, Fredk Co Md, Susan Barnes". Several handwritten recipes on preliminary and final blanks, and two laid-in, with a few additional recipe clippings also laid-in. Most interesting is a trade card or box label (most likely the later) of American Print-Works, of Fall River, Mass. Block printed on plain paper in red, gold and blue, there is a handwritten number, "28". Founded in Fall River in 1835, American Print-Works built on the cities existing industries of iron works and cotton milling. By the close of the Civil War, Fall River's textile industry was the nation's leading textile city, led by American Print-Works, surpassing even Lowell, Mass. Based on the book's ownership inscription, and the  handwriting of specific recipes (one dated September 10, 1891) leads me to believe the label was added to the book in the 1880s or 90s. [OCLC locates five copies; Cagle 445 (earlier copy); Lowenstein 509].

I just found this picture in a book and it got me thinking...today's twenty-somethings just won't ever know the joys of using a genuine #80sparty photo as a #bookmark in a #daniellesteel novel. 😂😎 #thingsfoundinbooks #randomphotos #totally80s #themost80sthingever #80s #besties #bestfriendsforever #partyon #partylikeits1989 #bookshoplife #talesfromthebookshop #thenandnow #twentysomething #80shair #80sfashion (at Missouri) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3psVXbJ0Az/?igshid=2lx57d8hnnv6

🤣 I spotted this in a 1902 edition of "Cyr Readers by Grades – Book Seven" published by Ginn & Company. Coincidentally, the Harley-Davidson motorcycle company was founded in Milwaukee, WI in 1903 by William Harley & the Davidson bros., Arthur & Walter. Of course, 'round these parts (#DaytonOH), 1903 is best known for the first powered airplane flight of our own Wright Bros. . #HarleyDavidson #ThingsFoundInBooks (at Bonnett's Book Store) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvyBBzAHFjf/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1bmwvx5c7ja1s

Letter left in the 'Acknowledge' page of "Words in Deep Blue"

02/09/2017

I am writing this letter to the author of this book, Cath Crowley —

I have always been a little in love with your writing. I am not one to read and recommend contemporary books but you have a way with words and characters. You make me feel them, see them, hear them… as if they all co-exist with me.

Thank you. For giving us another brilliant story. This book that’s filled with stories of love and lost, of hope and grief, of every emotion that brought tears to my eyes. I seriously have no words to tell you how reading this book made my whole year.

Now, to the dear person reading this, as you’ve reached this page, I’m assuming that you’ve finished the book, yeah? I hope you search for other books by Cath Crowley and fall in love with them as you fell in love with this book (because how could you not?)

Love,

Danielle.
