Found is a collection of notes, letters, lists, snapshots, drawings, and personal scraps of paper that people have lost, discarded, or simply left behind. Davy Rothbart gathers these ?found objects? and presents them as small windows into the private, unfiltered lives of strangers.The book grew out of Found Magazine, a project Rothbart created to encourage people to send in the curious things they discovered?abandoned notebooks, fragments of conversations, emotional letters, angry notes, shopping lists, and more. The book Found compiles many of the funniest, saddest, strangest, and most touching finds from the magazine.
