The Book Review's Booty

From the introduction to the slideshow:

Here at the Book Review, we get a ton of mail.

Every once in a while, when we’re pulling the endless books and press releases from publishers out of envelopes, out plops a little item of some sort. In fact, of every sort. From tennis balls to whoopee cushions, we’ve seen it all.

Collectors call this kind of stuff “literary ephemera,” and some of it is quite collectible. But not much of it.
