Left in the Leaves: Edgar Allan Poe Stories

After exiting the Forsyth library sale with our $5 bag of goodies, I began flipping through the Edgar Allan Poe Stories from 1961 that we found. Inside, I was tickled to find not one, but two little treats. The first is a business card for the Drifters Reef Motel on Carolina Beach, and scrawled on the back is Richard Lortie 670 W 6th ST, 724-9xxx with Sat. 10am. Interesting...

The other funny thing is an old order form for a Nifty Doodles-in-Gold kit. The order form says the offer expires on June 30, 1963. Sweet.

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.
