Nothing as good as the winners. We did find a book that someone tried to hollow out as a stash. https://www.flickr.com/photos/ld_fargo_public_library_lake_mills_wisconsin/5169150405/

I've never found anything much interesting in a library book. But I've found some good stuff in used books; probably the best is a price list for office services on the Twentieth Century Limited train from Chicago to New York--stenographic services, typing services, and so on...I still have that somewhere...

I've found a lot of interesting things in books, the best was a letter from a Vietnamese girl to an Asian actress in Hollywood. I still have it somewhere. I like the lady that used a hundred dollar bill as a book mark, though.
