The third set of photos of things I found in books donated to the thrift store: packets I made up of the ephemera, in comic-book sleeves and put out for sale, 99 cents each.
These are so attractive to me. If I didn't work in thrift, I might buy them all. But I don't want to own all this paper!
One of the things I love best about Life During Internet is being able to save things digitally, like here. It's NOT the same as physical things, lacking texture, scent, and dimension, but better than nothing.
[UPDATE: These all sold right away.]
I'm clearing out my work area, since I'm job hunting.
I expect it'll be quite a while before I get a new job---partly because I have only applied for one so far... :)
At any rate, I know my predecessor threw this sort of thing away, or maybe left it in the book it came in.

Problem--half the donated books end up in recycling--never go out on the shelves at all due to damage or unsaleability, or they get pulled when they don't sell, even at 33 cents.
Will I miss this stuff when I'm no longer working at the store (whenever that may be)?
I really will.
