• Williams-Sonoma Bride & Groom Entertaining
  on May 11, 2016 in Lost & Found
  David and I laughed so loud when we saw this people looked at us like we’d lost our collective minds. (Come to think of it, that’s not the first time.) BUT. Look at where the inscription…was. Look at all of that WHITE OUT. Holy Crap...
• Our Share In The Home by Baxter Justin Rust
  on May 11, 2016 in Lost & Found
  Hands-down, this is the best bit of student doodling we’ve found inside a book. Ever. The misspelled words add charm to the unambiguous way in which the student shares his or her feeling about the book. The book in question was written in 1945...

• The Power Bright and Shining: Images of My Country by Rod McKuen
  on May 11, 2016 in Lost & Found
  Singer-songwriter and poet Rod McKuen signed a copy of this book in 1980 for (at the time) Nevada Governor Robert List. Rod is credited with writing and publishing over 1,500 songs, writing scores of poems and as I write this, I can’t remember...
• Damned to Glory by Robert Lee Scott
  on May 11, 2016 in Lost & Found
  Does the name seem a bit familiar for some reason? Well perhaps it should! Robert Lee Scott was a Brigadier General in the U.S. Air Force. He is best known for his autobiography God is My Co-Pilot, which (according to David’s research) was abou...

  on May 11, 2016 in Lost & Found
  You don’t have to be crazy to believe this stuff, but damn, it sure would help, because some of this shit is just nuts. What are your thoughts or feelings on the inscription? Please take a moment and let us know in the comments below. Also, if...
• Five Minutes a Day
  on May 11, 2016 in Lost & Found
  When’s the last time you gave a Christmas present to your doctor? And what kind of book is “Five Minutes a Day” that you would gift it to your doctor? As you might surmise, we didn’t look through it to find out. Mores the pity...
• Inveighing We Will Go Hardcover by William F. Buckley Jr.
  on May 11, 2016 in Lost & Found
  Who doesn’t enjoy a good inveighing? And in the late ’60s and the ’70s, William F. Buckley had to be in the top 10 of erudite grumblers. Deciphering his railings against liberalism is best done with a dictionary in one hand and a st...
• The Difference by Judy Mann
  on May 11, 2016 in Lost & Found
  This twenty year old book by Washington Post columnist Judy Mann is about the differences between boys and girls. It’d be interesting to see how the ideas here measure up against current thinking…but not so as interesting as to merit our...
• A Place Called Sweet Apple by Celestine Sibley
  on May 11, 2016 in Lost & Found
