    I am reading The Demon-Haunted World, by Carl Sagan on loan from the Wisconsin University Library System, and I found a loose page tucked into the book. TDHW itself is decent – a little dated for its 1995 publication date, but eerily prescient in calling out pseudoscience, fundamental Christian rejection of science and other modern "fall of society" trends.

    But this page was weird and I wasn't expecting it.

    The page is one-sided, and a clean edge (not torn from anything else). No page number eithr. I'm not sure where the page came from, not what it is in context of (aside from itself, referring to a study about Bell curves and kidney disease from acetaminophen). I suppose it was tucked in without purpose.

    But I thought I'd see if this meant anything to the folks here. Or just share the weirdness of a page intruding mysteriously in my book.

      Retired librarian here. I’d say, based on decades of experience finding things tucked inside library books, that a previous reader used that page as a bookmark.
