Yeah, and notice that the cover of the book in no indicates it is something more than just a free copy of On the Origin of Species. So, if I were aware of the anniversary I wouldn't at all be surprised to see copied being handed out by some group.
Besides, people handing out books free on campus is how I ended up with several dozen bibles and the collected oeuvre of the Hare Krishnas by the time I graduated.
It is also why I have a half dozen sample size packets of dog treats in my desk at work since they were standing outside the BART station for a week. Someday I might have a dog, or skip lunch and be really hungry.
