An Amazon customer made a valuable discovery in a book for 90 cents - a note in the dedication brought it to him.
New York - books can enrich life, this is not new.
But actually “enrich” means something different than the experience that Twitter user Gregg Favre claims to have had.
His description and his photos are not officially confirmed, but the discovery seems very authentic.
Amazon customer makes two discoveries in a used book
On Sunday (February 21st) he posted four photos of a book and wrote: “I bought this book second-hand, via Amazon, for 90 cents.” It is the work “Wind, sand and stars” by Antoine de Saint- Exupéry (best known for "The Little Prince"), which means "Wind, Sand and Stars" in German.
The Amazon buyer found a dedication behind the cover of the book and describes it: “From his previous life there is a nice dedication for 'T-man', who is celebrating its 13th birthday, along with a PS that it 'pays off to read '".
I bought this book used, off of Amazon for ninety cents.
From its former life, it has a kind inscription to “T-man”, celebrating his 13th birthday, along with a PS that it “pays to read”.
I'm guessing T-man didn't take that guidance to heart (or didn't make it to page 169 ...) pic.twitter.com/qUjjReKUpt

Amazon customer will find 20 dollar bill on page 169
So the book was once given to a boy named T-man.
And the dedication was meant to be ambiguous - the recipient did not understand that.
And now the Amazon buyer, too, when he turned to page 169.
"I suppose T-man didn't take these instructions to heart (or didn't make it to page 169)." Because the fourth photo shows:
There is a 20 dollar bill stuck on page 169!
So T-man should be rewarded for the hoped-for hunger for reading - but he didn't get far enough to discover the banknote.
Your own fault somehow.
Money hidden in the book - the previous owner probably didn't know anything about it
The Amazon buyer's tweet collected around 900 "likes" in less than a day.
"That's great.
Well done, unknown relative, ”says a user, praising the giver's inventiveness.
“What a brilliant idea ... not every book is intended for everyone” and “Awwww, what a shame he hasn't read the book.” Several people also praise the work of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.
And a Twitter user writes that this money trick is completely common in her family.
“My parents and grandparents did this for me and I did it for my children.
I think this kid didn't have any older siblings or cousins to initiate.
It's a shame they missed the opportunity.
But lucky you! ”So if you always get a book present, you shouldn't just put it on the shelf, never to be seen again.
But read.
And see what could be hiding on the pages and in between.
A completely different discovery, apparently from a doctor's waiting room, causes laughter on Instagram.
