What a great question!
I love buying second hand books and have found such interesting little bits and pieces that I always leave in the book. Sometimes if I am donating the book to an opportunity shop after reading it as I sometimes do I will add something of mine in the book and I always wonder what on earth happens to it.
I have found a photograph in sepia, postage stamps, cards, bookmarks, a five dollar note tucked into the fly leaf, recipes and newspaper clippings.
It is amazing what people store inbetween the covers of books.

Hi, 2 years back I picked a second hand book "God of small things" by Arundhati Roy, and got 2 bus tickets and 2 train tickets between Ktm & Tvm. I have kept them very safely in the same book.

I once found an unfinished song in a book that I bought at Half Price Books. It made me sad that someone had forggotten it and would never finish it. I gave it to a friend of mine who writes music and he played around with it and finished it. It was a very pretty song.

I once found a note written on the inside cover of 'sophie's Choice" that I swear was written by my best friend. Same handwriting and everything. I decided not to tell her because maybe she'd be mad at the person she gave the book to.

I rented this house in Bay Islands and there was a book with a budget and the amount of money people had to contribute in order to stay in the house. It included rent, food and such. It was very curious and let me inside the lifes of other people.

Oddly enough I found a very nice little poster (4X6 in. approx) for Wyatt Earp starring Kevin Costern. It was glossy and very well made. I thought it was in Japanese, but did some research and it was in Korean. One can only wonder how it got there.

Pressed flowers. Probably from a wedding?
