Experiement 1: I put 3 books out on the free table this morning:

David Sedaris, Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim
Edgar Allen Poe, The Fall of the House of Usher and Other Writings
Emily Dickinson, The Collected Poems

The experiment is to see which of these is the last to be snatched up by a group of English Faculty (who I assume would own these already if they wanted them), graduate students, English majors & various undergraduates.

I will report on the outcome later today.
