CDL: Statute referencing book donations
From:
"Kohn, Karen" <kohnk_at_arcadia.edu>
I've reference this from the Postal Service, but it does not note what law
it is relying on:

Unsolicited Merchandise
A company sends you a gift in the mail --- a tie, a good luck charm, or a key
chain. You didn't order the gift. What do you do? Many people will feel
guilty and pay for the gift. But you don't have to. What you do with the
merchandise is entirely up to you.
- If you have not opened the package, mark it "Return to Sender." The Postal
Service will send it back at no charge to you.
- If you open the package and don't like what you find, throw it away.
- If you open the package and like what you find, keep it --- free. This
is a rare instance where "finders, keepers" applies unconditionally.
Whatever you do, don't pay for it --- and don't get conned if the sender
follows up with a phone call or visit. By law, unsolicited merchandise is
yours to keep.
