When watching old movies, my wife or often it is me who will pause to look at architectural details or period furniture. These things might be of interest to only a few.
When ordering a few other items from Lee Valley a book on markdown was spotted:
Old Ship Figure~heads & Sterns.jpg
Most of the illustrations are in black & white. Some of the illustrations also mention the number of cannon carried on ships meant for such engagements. Some are in color:
Three Figure-Heads 1610-1745.jpg

It makes me think of a book on railroad propulsion units (train engines) bought many years ago from a markdown table at a bookstore in San Francisco. One of my BART co-workers asked if he could barrow it. After he had it for a week or so he thanked me and said he didn't intend to give it back.
My tendency is to not loan out books unless it is a duplicate or it won't bother me greatly if it doesn't come back.
