THE STOOP: A Witch’s Spellbook, A Lover’s Guide, a Bootleg Movie and a Penguin
Our weekly round up of Brooklyn stoop items.
This week’s stoop search revealed a bounty of books: a witch’s spellbook, a lover’s manual and a guidebook entitled, “How to Be Your Dog’s Best Friend.”
Other notable items included a cache of cassettes. One golden cassette was by the man who wrote the score of “Wizard of Oz,” Harold Arlen’s “Americanegro Suite” and another classic was the nine-time Grammy winner in Classical and Jazz music, Wynton Marsalis’ album, “Hot House Flowers.”

So, overall Slopers were throwing out some valuable things.
The most interesting stoop item was the “Modern Witch’s Spellbook Book II,” which promised a “remarkable collection of surprisingly workable spells.”

The volume, by Sarah Lyddon Morrison is a work comprised of “scholarly research” and “the author’s own experiments with witchcraft.”
Another gem was certainly the gently used stuffed animal penguin and its grey friend, the elephant.
