Nobody in our family has that kind of money

Day 28:  Money


People use the strangest things for bookmarks:  napkins, airline tickets, credit card receipts, facial tissue, bank statements, letters, nail files, leaves, toothpicks, and sometimes even actual bookmarks.  I've found all these and more in the books that come to the Bottom Shelf.  My favorite is money.  Apparently people traveling back from abroad don't mind using leftover foreign money as bookmarks.  Here are a couple of samples of what I've found recently.  The best one, though, was the book that had $500 in US money stuck in amongst the pages.  The Bottom Shelf did very well that day!

$500!! W-ow.

And do you remember how when I worked at Pioneer Book and we had the wall of taped-up photos we'd found in books? Silly.

Why did you decide to stop posting? Or did you not really decide so much as just stop because you were bizzy?

Anyway, I'm sorry I don't always have something funny/interesting to say in a comment, but I still enjoy seeing your snapshots every day.
