A bar I frequented had books on every shelf on every wall. When visiting I usually wouldn't touch them, but once in awhile after a beverage I'd grab a random one and peek inside.
One I opened had on the inside cover someone's full name and social security number.
I brought it up to the bartender so they could rip out that page and throw it away.
Was there a time when putting your SSN inside a book was common?
