Erotic letters are routine. Once got an empty blister pack of Viagra
but in a book that didn't fit at all, like a gardening manual.


I don't know. I can see the gardening metaphor in the bookmark. He's got
the tools to "plow a new furrow", or something along those lines.

That's just wrong on so many levels.


What a waste of bacon.


No kidding. You can always print off another copy of a book, but a
slice of tasty bacon that goes to waste is gone forever.


It might have been a cook book?

Whose bacon was it? Maybe there is an association there that could make
the book valuable!

Shakespeare's, of course!

Of course, they will have to take a sample of the bacon and carbon date
it to be certain. And, maybe, just maybe, they will find a thumb print
of Shakespeare's on a corner of the bacon, proving beyond a doubt that
this was his!

Not all book sales are created equal. *I have mentioned in
the past the annual Westport sale which often features books
from the libraries of celebrities or New York City book
publishers. *This weekend, the Town of Salisbury in
Connecticut is having a library book sale, and, as many
towns do, they have a preview evening on Friday that is open
to those willing to pay a fee to get in. *Dealers and
determined collectors are the ones who usually take
advantage of this offer.

But Salisbury's preview evening is a little different.
First of all, they only have 8,000 books for sale, a number
that hardly invites serious book fiends. *Second, they are
charging $25 admission, not the usual $5 or $10 that other
towns charge.



I visited the one in Yonkers (Will Branch) about a month or two back
during their book sale and I remember being upset that they didn't
have a classics section amongst the sections of books on sale.

(unless I just missed it)
