One of the great aspects to working in a used book store is found art & ephemera. Sometimes photos, sometimes drawings, sometimes postcards, many bookmarks...I have accumulated a vast collection over the years from inside books and boxes.

I have always intended to share some of my favourites...so I am starting today!

I call this one "Birman", which I believe is a breed of cat, due to a notation on the back.
