  • 1952, Arthur Rapp, Lee Hoffman, Redd Boggs, Fanspeak, page 5:
    When you read a new book you get eyetracks all over it. Then it isn't mint any more.
  • 1955, Joe Haldeman, “Try calling on the World for peace of mind”, in Worlds, page 150:
    "You look good in that," he said. "Especially wet."

  • 1959, Terry Carr, Ron Ellik (as Carl Brandon), “Readerville”, in The BNF of Iz[1]:
    "The only good thing in Readerville," said the Lion, "is their library, where they keep copies of science fiction magazines. But all those copies are terribly worn out from being read so much. They have all sorts of unsanitary eyetracks all over them, and the spines are broken because the readers fold their magazines over when they read."

    Near-mint condition, only a few eyetracks. 184 pages of terrifyingly complicated math and logic. Never read it, never will. If you want it, it's yours; just email your snail-mail address to me.
  • 2008 June 2, S. Fu, “Re: ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 06/02/08 **BLIND ITEM**”, in alt.gossip.celebrities[4] (Usenet), message-ID <1212454301_4193@news.newsfeeds.com>:
    To be honest, he kind of surprised me with his chops in "Chuck and Larry". When I gave any attention to his takes--putting eyetracks on Jessica Biel's butt absorbing almost my whole cerebrum--I was surprised to note that in half his scenes Sandler was giving a relatively nuanced and understated performance.
