treasure-chest-of-dreams asked: This tumblr is absolutely incredible. Do you yourself find these in books you buy/find/read? It's fascinating!!

Aah goodness, thank you so much!

I find these myself, often in books I buy, sometimes in library books, and usually with my younger sister’s assistance (she must have a 6th sense… nearly every book she picks up has a treasure tucked away inside).

Unfortunately I don’t have much time to browse used book stores for more finds, so updates tend to be very irregular and sporadic. Even so, I’m glad you’re enjoying the blog :D
