When I weed I look at the condition of dupicates and keep the ones in the best condition. I discard books with food, water and indeterminate stains.
When I page through, I find all sorts of things I know the reader didn't mean to leave behind that they were using to mark their spot in the book:
Photographs
Grocery lists
Bills
Letters (never anything too juicy)
Actual Bookmarks of all kinds, including handmade ones
Scraps of paper
Facial Tissues
Toilet paper (my least favorite thing)
Ribbon
Date due receipts
Check and double check before you bring em back!
