I’ve only just got on to this, but this is a great little book from the creators of Found Magazine – the regular collection of found items. This book carries that theme of discovering of other people’s real life love letters, notes, doodles and to-do lists, but also adds more context with a little short story from the finder themselves.

It’s certainly an interesting concept, particularly when these finders are celebrities from all different arts and media. The contributors to this book include Chuck D, Kimya Dawson, David Simon (The wire), Kori Gardner (Mates of State), Billy Bragg, Damian Kulash (OK Go) and many kind folk.

It’s less than £10 and about $10 too, so you american folk are getting a bargain! Got to love the illustrated cover work too – you all have no excuse!
