Carry on up the Amazon

I have been selling some of my books on Amazon marketplace. I made my first sale on thursday, a copy of that great work, An Introduction to Contemporary Epistemology. As I was packaging the tome, I couldn't resist slipping a bonus book into the envelope. So I sent off this marvellous epistemology text along with André Gide's The Vatican Cellars, plus an offensive note ('Philosophy is love of wisdom: there is more wisdom on one page of Gide than in a whole book of Dancy').
I know that this kind of tomfoolery isn't exactly in the spirit of entrepreneurship, but the thought of someone receiving such a package fills me with endless wonder and fascination.
