Bizarre coincidence of the day

I added the paperback edition of The Right Nation: Conservative Power in America as the August book of the month yesterday; today, what shows up in my mailbox at work? A freebie paperback edition of The Right Nation (along with some crappy screed by Lewis Lapham I was sorely tempted to sell on Amazon.com). Spooky.

And, for the record: I paid retail for my hardback copy.

What? You buy books? I thought the one huge perk of life in academia was having review copies of books in your field thrown at you like rice at a wedding….
