I received a comment on one of my posts from cdavid, the owner of the Intralibris blog. Following his link, I was treated to a delighful series of images of items from his collection. They are all things that he’s found in books. Presumably, they were all used as bookmarks. They’re a pretty broad range of items, although many are what you might expect: receipts, business cards, tickets from shows, and more traditional bookmarks.
However, the real treat were those posts to which he has added a caption. Cdavid (hmm, is there an agreed upon capitalization scheme for user names?) has a great sense of humor, and I stopped to chuckle at a couple of entries. On one I stopped and laughed out loud.
I recommend his website. It’s a quick and fun and I’ll be adding it to the link list.
