The Internet is great for searching for books, but what happened to the good old days when you could wander through a great used book store, see interesting books you've never heard of, and make those serendipitous finds that were half the fun of collecting? Every other week we let our computer choose 30 stock items completely at random to bring a little of the unexpected to the on-line book experience.
