Whoa, I love this. The found 'artifacts' in particular - it's fascinating seeing things that people probably used as bookmarks. Plane tickets, old adverts and receipts. Just little snippets of time - worthless then, but capturing a moment forever.

I once found a holiday greeting card inside a library book about narcissistic parents and I always wondered if it was just a handy bookmark or a poignant gesture.

Back in the day I used to print cool bookmarks and leave them in library books. Kids love to open a Harry Potter book and find a Potter bookmark.
