My mum sells secondhand books and I /love/ her little collection of bookmarks, cards and notes found in books. It is fun imagining the people behind the pieces of paper.

Buying the first book you see at a used bookstore

When they’re good I get to feel discerning. When they’re bad they're still good. Got this today at BLMF in Seattle. I think it will be good

Used Books

I like when a book has some scribbles or folded corners from a previous life. It makes me feel less anxious about keeping it pristine and it's honestly pretty romantic to sit and think about who held it before you.
