People working in book stores often make collections of what they find stored and forgotten between the pages of books.
Among the items known to be found in old books: A letter from Mrs. Robert E. Lee, photos, birth certificates, and ticket stubs. Cash is not an unusual find, and love letters are common.
Novelist David Bowman deliberately filled a first edition of his novel, Let the Dog Drive (Penguin USA), with publishers' rejection letters. He sold it for a good price.
When you sell your books, you have a choice. Either search them for forgotten items to be removed or leave an anonymous treasure inside to delight the finder!
