I thought this was pretty cool. I got an email forwarded to me from Whitney Matheson (along with the note, "aww, you totally made this woman's day!") that says...

Dear Whitney,

I found an Amazon box on my porch when I got home from work tonight. Not unusual, but I didn't remember ordering anything within the last week or so. Inside was a wrapped present. Cool, I thought. I read the card: While vanity searching my book on Google, I came across your wishlist and thought I'd treat you to an early birthday present. Enjoy! --Jason Rodriguez, Editor: Postcards. Jason sent me a copy of Postcards!

My birthday is in two weeks and I'm quite sure this is going to be my favorite present! I knew I had added it to my wishlist after a recommendation from you. I thought you should know that 1) this guy must be really cool and 2) you helped score me an awesome surprise.

I love the idea behind this book. I've been known to buy random postcards and tintypes from antique stores. I can't wait to read it. If you talk to Jason, tell him I said Thanks!

Sharon

I've been thinking of doing a Random Acts of Kindness kind of thing. Occasionally buying the book for someone who has it on their wishlist or their GoodReads "to-read" list. It's nice to know people appreciate it if I do go through with it...

Oh, and Happy Birthday to Sharon Gunter!
