Like books? Don’t like to spend a lot of money buying them? Hate going to the library? Mark Anderson has the solution. He’ll let you borrow a book or two from his library. You just email him with your name and mailing address and he’ll ship your book out. When you’re done, just ship it back to him. Sounds pretty generous, right? Well, he’ll also pay all of the postage both ways. Why would anyone make such an offer on the Web? I honestly have no idea, though I suspect that he may either fancy himself a modern-day Benjamin Franklin or be unable to get a job as a librarian.
