I had a little bit more excitement than that when I found Intro to Algorithms for 10 cents at the local library. Hidden within many pages were $20 and $50 bills. Over $500. There was no name in the book and the library said they had no way to figure out who the book belonged to. I assume the owner did not trust banks or his room mate. I now have a habit of looking for money inside whenever I see a used book for sale.
- idle_processor 15y agoI occasionally "hide" bills in selected sections of textbooks I've been meaning to read. It serves as a perk or secondary means of positive reinforcement (the primary being learning interesting/useful stuff). It also indirectly brings the material near where I've stuffed the bill to the forefront of my mind, even if I'm not incentivizing myself with cash. "Where was that $20? Oh, near Djikstra's algorithm. I'd been meaning to look that over."
