Check Your Bathroom For Books

Look, the economy’s in the crapper, Christmas is coming, and we’re all looking for a little extra cash. Have you considered selling all those books clogging up your bathroom? Forget for a moment the fact that they are likely blanketed in feces nanodroplets, and consider that they might be worth a fortune.

Well, that is if you’re anything like one English family, who was keeping a first edition of Charles Darwin’s On the Origin of Species in their loo. The book sold for $171,000 at auction – nice!

And the good news? The new owner cannot possibly have any qualms about reading this first edition on the toilet!
