			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of my favorite things is going to a used bookstore and finding the personal notes left behind in the front covers of my most loved books. Tonight I found this inscription in the front cover of a copy of Vineland, by Thomas Pynchon:</p>

<em>Rachel&#8211; after you read this book all things will become clear and understandable&#8211; we are all of us in Vineland!  -Jose</em></p>

<p>I found this gem at Mercer Street Books in lower Queen Anne. Left inside this book was a photograph of a hillside very similar to the one on the cover. I liked the copy enough to buy it, and will probably tear into it a third time, soon. So far, each time I have purchased this book, I read it once and left it somewhere for someone else to find, and (hopefully) enjoy.</p>
