Together, As always – A brilliant collection of personal notes from second-hand books
It’s funny how a few lines of handwriting cam transport you to a snowy, 1980s family christmas in Nebraska that you definitely weren’t at. In this simple, very engaging project, Julianne Aguilar has collected as many second hand or discarded books as possible – each one containing the obligatory ‘gift’ note inside. With personal notes ranging from sophomore year-book style in-jokes to lengthier messages that make the hairs on your arms stand up, this collection is not just one more reason to keep buying people books for gifts but serves as an inspiration that a small and very charming project like this is totally doable, and closer to home than you may think.
