What a neat happenstance. :) The serendipity of browsing is a wonderful thing, isn't it? I always tried to impress on my students the importance of just wandering the stacks, scanning the shelf instead of just looking up a book in the catalog and then beelining to it. That's the one thing I feel has been lost with the move to online bookstores and ebooks -- the opportunity to just happen across something amazing.

Thanks for sharing your story! :)
