This book was not as interesting as I thought it would be. I expected it to have more funny and crazy stuff rather than old photos and papers. The recipes were cool because I love cooking but I felt it was kind of boring otherwise except a few random things throughout. I work for my Mom here and there, who sells used books, and the stuff I've found in books has been pretty freaking cool. Maybe I need to add a blog post here and there of the cool stuff I've found! This book is worth looking through once, but I'm glad I got it from the library and didn't spend any money on it.

I really enjoyed this book. I enjoyed the looking at the past. Wondering what happened to those lives. What made that person pick that book, what kind of books are they, are they funny, sad, ect. Nice read.

A neat little book. I hesitate to call it a neat little read because it doesn't really follow that format. More it's a picture oriented book - a coffetable book without the size and heft. Certainly interesting and a way to develop your own stories about who put that in there, why, what's the significance or was there any? In a few instances there are neat little historical information blurbs inserted to help things make sense. I wish there could have been more of that - but realize that'd take an extraordinary amount of work.
