I'm bemused/puzzled/irritated!

I got a beautiful book today, from this postal address (Unit 4F, Eurolink Industrial Centre, Bingham Road, Sittingbourne, Kent ME10 3SU). It is relevant to my field of study (I'm a mature student writing my MA dissertation in English with a focus on 12th and 20th Century narratives). How in heaven's name do they know that? I don't know what to do apart from holding on to it, entering it into my bibliography and hoping I can read it before they ask for it back! I guess they must be delivering for another company (e.g. Amazon or Better World Books) and use some kind of algorithm that gives them info. The blighters!

One of our members (on that thread) found this out:

 

I finally did manage to track down why I had received the headphones - We had subscribed to a Dennis Publishing magazine (a gift from my wife which I didn't know about at the time) and they were a free gift for doing so. The company at that address was contracted to mail out the items.

 

Have you subscribed/re-subscribed to a magazine or publication recently?

YES! I wondered what I was going to read post dissertation and decided to order a sub to the BBC History magazine. This book was the free gift with the sub.Thank you so much Dos_Box - you've made my day! I can now read at my leisure (well, a bit faster than that, really!)

(It would have helped if they'd put a comp slip in with the book, wouldn't it?)
