New title (6/19/12): Left in the Leaves

One of the secondary pleasures of finding an old classic is the occasional discovery of some historical artifact within -- but not of -- its pages. We once found a rare-looking butterfly pressed between the pages of a c.1896 Cooper novel. We've read some interesting inscriptions, found dated receipts, old business cards, order forms for products from a time long ago, etc. Our "Inside the Book" "Left in the Leaves" series of posts will divulge any amusing or otherwise noteworthy findings within the pages of our used books.
