Forgotten Bookmarks: A Bookseller's Collection of Odd Things Lost Between the Pages
Forgotten Bookmarks: A Bookseller's Collection of Odd Things Lost Between the Pages | Michael Popek
77 posts | 20 read | 49 to read
It's happened to all of us: we're reading a book, something interrupts us, and we grab the closest thing at hand to mark our spot. It could be a train ticket, a letter, an advertisement, a photograph, or a four-leaf clover. Eventually the book finds its way into the world-a library, a flea market, other people's bookshelves, or to a used bookstore. But what becomes of those forgotten bookmarks? What stories could they tell?By day, Michael Popek works in his family's used bookstore. By night, he's the voyeuristic force behind www.forgottenbookmarks.com, where he shares the weird objects he has found among the stacks at his store."Forgotten Bookmarks" is a scrapbook of Popek's most interesting finds. Sure, there are actual "bookmarks," but there are also pictures and ticket stubs, old recipes and notes, valentines, unsent letters, four-leaf clovers, and various sordid, heartbreaking, and bizarre keepsakes. Together this collection of lost treasures offers a glimpse into other readers' lives that they never intended for us to see.

This book was #forgotten in my TBR

While trying to find a photo to use, I can across this article from a few years ago on what people use for bookmarks & then leave forgotten in library books. Pretty entertaining! 😆 https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/books/booksblog/2018/may/14/bac...

Souvenir leather bookmarks will forever be my absolute favourite. ❤️

I bought my first one in 1997 and my lovely Litsy friends have certainly added to my collection since then. @TrishB @rubyslippersreads @Book_Fiend_Melissa @rockpools @Mdargusch - do you see any of your gifts peeking out from this pile? 😂

Thanks for the tag, @Tove_Reads !

A quick, enjoyable little read about some of the things people leave in books. The author runs a bookstore with his family and started cataloguing some of his finds. I always enjoy finding ticket stubs and receipts in the used books that I buy so this was interesting read for me.

Pictured is this weeks stack of books.

Also, I hit my 30,000 page goal for the year so I may need to re-evaluate that one. #goals #pagesread

I still don't understand, why bookdepository sends me every book single, I ordered for my #secretsantagoespostal, but the advantage is, I have a little collection of bookmarks by ordering only one time. 😊
To my secret Santa, there are still three items missing. Hope to send your parcel next week. 🤗 @MrBook @BookBabe @Avanders

Melissa_J I used to order from Book Depository all the time, and books were always mailed individually. I‘ve never understood why they ship that way, as I would think it would be more expensive for them. 6y

I also have some beautiful papyrus bookmarks, but I'm afraid I'll destroy them so I don't use them often.

Since I tend to use whatever piece of paper is at hand, (say no to dog ears) I have quite a lot of #bookmarks. Usually they are stubs from performances.
