SLIDESHOW: Treasures found in books

There are a couple great blogs and tumblrs dedicated to forgotten bookmarks, but at Unnameable Books in Brooklyn, proprietor Adam Tobin has dedicated a wall in the back of the shop near the register to the ephemera he has found in books.

This slideshow gives you a glimpse of some of these treasures.
