If you buy old/used books...
And you find an old name and address written inside, or a label glued in, do you wonder who that person was and have the urge to write a letter and see if they're still there 50 years later?

Absolutely.
I actually bought a used book once and found a note tucked inside that read:
Dear Reader,
I am the one who donated this book to the secondhand store you bought it from. My name is _______ and I am a paraplegic woman in ______ who loved this book and would like to possibly exchange letters with you after you read it. If you would be interested in this, my address is _________ (it was of course a P.O. box). Enjoy the read!
It was really sweet and endearing and I would definitely have written her had I read the book. But I never got around to reading it and I lost it during a move. 😔
