There were some reviews over the weekend from a couple of the biggest, baddest blogs in the blogosphere! First, here is what David Pescovitz from BoingBoing had to say:
When I first found FOUND Magazine several years ago, I was absolutely delighted. Every issue is packed with bizarre found stuff like love letters, nasty notes left on cars, to-do lists, homework assignments, doodles, photos, etc. FOUND co-founder Jason Bitner recently found a find so amazing that he created a wonderful book about it. I can't recommend LaPorte, Indiana highly enough for fans of photography, ephemera, or curiosities. Looking at these anonymous people is deeply moving.

Next we have Chantal Stone's thoughtful review from Blogcritics. From her review:
Jason Bitner, of Found Magazine, makes a living collecting the things we leave behind, and compiling them for all to see. Lost love letters, a to-do list, a note from an angry neighbor have all found their way into Bitner's Found Magazine. This time, instead of gathering the snippets of memories and messages left behind, Bitner has compiled a wonderful collection of lives, a veritable diary of a small American town… More than a collection of old photographs, LaPorte, Indiana has given the world a glimpse into our own collective history. This is bigger than just LaPorte,. . . this is America, your family, your neighbors. This book evokes a feeling of nostalgia and holds a piece of all of us back in time, when our collective consciousness told us all things were possible. Jason Bitner has given us the glorious gift of time standing still.
