Ephemeral

One of the joys of old books are the stuff you find tucked inside them, also known by the much more erudite term "book ephemera." Sadly, I've never gotten anything valuable or even that interesting, but it's still cool to look at old inserts and such. I make my own ephemera, too, mostly receipts I use as bookmarks and tuck into books after I've read them, so when I go back to reread them I can see just when I got the book.
