Looking at the back cover of a book I got from the library's "book room." It's basically where they take donated books and books that have been weeded and let people "buy" them for a donation of any size.
It only has a GBP price. I wonder how the hell it got here to the US.
Then I look in the front cover. There's a Viking River Cruise sticker in the front. Apparently they have libraries aboard those things.
Somebody must have really liked this book and decided to take it.
