For about three years now, I have been volunteering in a well-known charity bookshop. The shop survives entirely on donations and it is part of my job to sort through these donations, before pricing and eventually selling. We get a huge variety of books donated from a wide variety of people: some beautiful; some not so much (this goes for the people as well as the books). What is often the most interesting part of sorting through books is finding all sorts of notes, postcards, photos and trinkets inside the books themselves... a book-lover will use anything as a bookmark!
I have designed this blog as a way to display my 'treasures' to the masses, and also pay some kind of homage to the eccentrics and note-writers of the world. You brighten up my days.
