A Cool Story About a Book That Finally Got a Home

I came across this article yesterday afternoon in my daily wanderings on the interweb. A bookstore in England tweeted about how they had finally sold a book, which had been on their shelves for 27 years. The reactions to this story are absolutely wonderful, but one of them really caught my attention.

One Twitter user suggested going into bookstores, and asking them to bring you the book that has been on their shelves the longest, and buy that book. The user, who goes under the name of BeckieofBubbles said "You know when people go to dog shelters and say I want to take home the dog who has been here the longest. I'm going to this in bookstores. 'Can you point me to the book you've had here the longest?' That will be some random book collection!" I totally agree, and I may steal this idea. The randomness of what you might get has really peaked my curiosity.
