Things you find in second hand books

This morning a book I ordered arrived, this train ticket was in it. Made me wonder where they were going 10 years ago, travelling from East Midlands to St Pancras. The book was ‘Feel the fear and do it anyway’.

I read a lot (in the absence of any other hobbies or a social life) and do almost always buy second hand but I rarely find anything at all in the books I pick up.

When I do it's actively offputting eg - a strip of grainy 00's type printed photos of a young teen couple in bed (nothing on show, under the covers) but full on kissing, complete with little heart clip art plastered all over them. Completely unreasonable but it really put me off the book.

I do always take an interest in how far the person got into the book though, i see a lot of folded over pages not very far in and always think they surely didn't give it a good enough go!

I bought a couple of books off a stall at a car boot sale last year.
One of them contained a cheque for £5.
Which was dated 28 march 1978.
So Roy Stevenson, if you ever wondered where your £5 cheque went, I've found it 👍

😂😂😂😂
Everyone on her who knows a Roy Stevensin of that age needs the ask him! Just imagine if you could send it to him 😂😂😂
