Found in a Book

AbeBooks conducted a little survey where it asked its booksellers to identify the most surprising things they have found inside books.

The answers are amazing: "Thousands of dollars, a Christmas card signed by Frank Baum, a Mickey Mantle rookie baseball card, a marriage certificate from 1879, a baby’s tooth, a diamond ring and a handwritten poem by Irish writer Katharine Tynan Hickson are just some of the stranger objects . . .."

For more on these bibliographic discoveries, see Found in Books.
