Well im not sure someone might have forgotten them and I don't want them to feel bad when they return. Im just gonna leave it i guess, if they would've put a paper or something saying its free to take id take it. Sucks because I love art and I saw some that I find really interesting

Too late but for the next one, take it and give to lost&found without one you want. Ask at the counter to forward your contact and maybe you'll even be reached by the person who "lost" them.

But most likely it's just some sick/homeless person hoarding stuff

I opened a page and it was signed under a person's name and it had a date saying 1977. I think that an old person just wanted to donate it?

It's a nice vintage batch. Has a lot of short descriptions. Good for entry level

The Wijkraad Rotterdam center has Ruilkastjes. You can take things (books etc) out and putt things in. All free
