An online bookseller acquired a huge collection of books for cheap, only to discover that (suprise!) many of them had been hollowed out and filled with porn; he’s now trying to figure out what to do with all the nudie pix. Might we suggest donating them to us? We can always use some help filling in the holes in our library. (booksaga.blogspot.com, via kottke.org)

    Awww… that poor old lady who sold him those books. She probably had no idea! I’d be horrified to find that after my husband died. How dare he defile those books. Why couldn’t he use a shoe box like any other normal pervert?

    I’ve always dreamed of finding a stash just like this, as the leftover receipts and plane tickets and other ephemera stuck between other people’s used books just loses its flair after a short while. What I would give to find even a crude drawing of a pair of buttocks…

    And it looks like he met that lady again.

    @CloudCarrier: I once found a dear john letter in a book I borrowed from the library. Priceless! It even had the “it’s not you, it’s me” line in it. She’d decorated with stars and flowers in the margins–as if those drolleries would soften the blow?

    I wonder if these books are from my next door neighbor who used to sell nudies of his wife as a sideline back in the 60s.
