Over on this thread a few of us have sheepishly blushed when we attempt to buy a Kindle book and Amazon informs us that we already own it. 

 

Today @Kerry Beal and I popped into a thrift store looking for something that was not food related.  While she searched the other aisles I lingered in the cookbook aisle. I was actually in search of Vegetarian India by Madhur Jaffery.  It was nowhere to be found but I did find myself drawn to this book:

When I reached the checkout  and the cashier rang it up over $6 I was quite annoyed.  In other thrift stores it would be less than $3.  But what the heck.

 

I am always especially intrigued by secondhand books that have Post-it notes or bookmarks in them. 

 

 While Kerry was in another store taking care of a very fast errand I stayed in the car and picked up the book to have a quick look. 

 

I turned immediately to the page marked with the Post-it note:

 I stared at it for quite a while before I clued in.  That’s my handwriting. :shock:
