   The strangest thing occurred.  Yesterday I received an unsolicited copy of   
   Warren Smith's Modern Optical Engineering 3rd edition in the mail.  There   
   was no paperwork and neither my wife nor I ordered it.   
      
   It was a new book with the CD ROM in the back.  The return address was   
   Sacramento, CA and when I looked it up on Google maps, it turned out to be a   
   condo -- not a book agent.   
      
   I am old enough to own the 1966 version as well as the 2nd edition of his   
   book.  I guess it was a holiday gift from someone who shall remain   
   anonymous.   
      
   Has this happened to anyone else?
