Found a 1983 grocery list in a library copy of 'The Shining'

I was at the main branch in Springfield and pulled it off the shelf, a folded piece of yellow paper fell right out. The list had 'eggs, milk, bread, shotgun shells' written in pencil, which is a wild combo to find in that particular book. What's the weirdest pairing of an item and a book you've ever seen?

Check the inside cover for a name or phone number. I found a check for two hundred bucks in a cookbook once and got it back to the guy. Sometimes people use anything as a bookmark.

Found a five dollar bill in a library book once and felt like a KING. My luck ran out though, I once used a parking ticket as a bookmark and forgot about it for a year. Had to pay the late fee, which was way more than five bucks. Now I just use actual bookmarks, the boring paper kind.

Honestly, that grocery list in The Shining feels like a perfect match (maybe they were just really prepared). The weirdest I saw was a coupon for cat food tucked into a copy of Jaws.
