Library shelving job trivia: Books for my diss.

Interestingly, in the short time picking books and shelving for my job at the library, I've come across 2 books on shelf that I've read for my dissertation, as I was shelving right by them.

One was the actual book I had checked out, and one was a later reprint of a book I'd found scanned on GoogleBooks and read from a pdf file that I had downloaded there.

For like two seconds I thought that that both coincidences were freaky, but then I remembered that I choose "pick lists" for subject areas that I'm interested in, and so that ups the chances that I'll be in areas where I'll come across books for my diss.
