i love finding things inside second hand books. a note scribbled on the inside of the cover - 'for lily'. someone else's favourite lines circled and written on. a tatty grocery list that must have been used as a bookmark. anything, everything. i cherish every bit of history inside my books, every sign that someone loved them before me

#same with broken spines and crinkled pages #i love preloved books #double the aesthetic and double as beautiful #rn i'm reading an ancient paperback copy of good omens i picked up from the charity shop #charity shop books >>>>>#and the last persons bookmark (a faded sticky note) was still there #someones written on the inside cover: gayle mansfield aug '96 #anyway gayle mansfield i love you #you wrote that 26 years ago. i wonder where you are now. i hope you're happy #books #reading #good omens
