Things Found in Old Books, season eight , volume 20

Things found in old books is a weekly segment where we show you curious ephemera that we’ve discovered while processing used books. Found this week: a 1955 humorous seaman membership certificate. We found a 1975 menu for a Laguna Beach restaurant. Finally a photo booth strip featuring a serious young woman. We are a general used bookstore in Orange California. We opened the doors in 1990. www.ebookman.com

Always fun. I love collecting old bookmarks from long forgotten bookstores. Peace on earth.

Finding old letters and postcards in a book is always a joy.

Nice haul 🙂 It's amazing to think of the social change that had taken place between the 1955 "Davey Jones Locker" membership ..... through past Monkee Davy c. 1966... to the restaurant menu of 1975. Thanks for another trip down memory lane! 🌎⏳🗓

Sir, is that book A Treasury of Grand Opera for sale? A copy of this book was gifted to me back in 1990 and was somehow lost between moves many years ago. Surprised to see it here - it holds many memories for me as I was discovering Opera at that time.

@@Mozart2Muse yes. Still available

Girl in the photos inspired by Joni Mitchell perhaps? (Joni loves a beret)

@@PamK36 I can see that

I can barely hear you which is a shame because I think I would enjoy your channel.

@@lindasmith6202 I’m sorry. Is it just my channel you can’t hear?
