more response

After checking my email recently- I noticed I received a few more responses by strangers finding inserts in the books in stores- here is what they wrote:

Hello. (who ever you are)

I bought a book at collected works about a month ago called The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time and Surprise! there was a photograph between the pages. It is called "a fuzzy dog ear my pet fluffy". Ummmmm....what is this all about....? I've come up to a couple conclusions....

A. You have too much free time on your hands

B. You're trying to find out who would be stupid enough to answer back

C. You're trying to peak other people's curiosity (if so you have succeded)

D. You are an old friend or an old ex boyfriend who is stalking me. You realized that I wanted to buy this book and knew that I always go to collected works. You then wanted to catch my attention (because you have fallen maddly in love with me) and so wanted to leave a red rose in the book but you soon realized that it would wilt too fast, so you had to change your tactics. (Anyway, the book store owner would have noticed since a rose is a little hard to hide) You decided instead to put an odd picture in the book and put an email address behind it, to peak my curiosity and hope that I would be stupid enough to answer back. (You also made sure that it was a picture of a dog since you know I like dogs and have one myself.) Now, you are hoping madly that I will answer back and once you get this email you will be jumping up and down in delight and will immediatley start planning to take me out to an expensive romantic dinner for two.

Anyway, I'd love to learn what this is all about.

Subject: Photo found in book

Hi

I recently purchased The Life of Pi at the Collected Works bookstore on Wellington Street in Ottawa. Inside the book was a black and white photograph labelled on the back "Hildie standing in front of the Danube. June'68". It also is labelled 010. Since this email address was also there, I assumed I was supposed to let you know!
So what's the purpose of this? I am curious. Did you need more information?

Hey there,

I got a book from "Collected Works" and it had a baggage tag from Voyager in it saying "happy free trip". What's that all about?
