A greedy book lover herself, Cathy felt guilty about throwing away a perfectly good book. Before she threw it away, she decided to check for more serious
112、damage inside that might justify her giving it up. She opened the cover and moved to fan through the pages when she noticed something unusual.

116、e might be able to do with the money, Cathy decided that the only realistic choice left to her was to return it to its owner. Luckily for Cathy, the book also contained the name of the book owner. Using this name, Cathy might be able to find its rightful owner. Still, it would take a little digging.
