I received the same. I think they send it in hopes that a librarian will read it and love it and review it and cause great big sales.
We usually use them for prizes.

Subject: Book Received from Amazon
Hi all,
Yesterday, the Illinois Center for the Book received the book,
Patchwork Love, from Amazon. With it, we received a note from Amazon stating,
“A gift for you. Please accept this copy of Patchwork Love for your state library collection. Fiction, general, family life, mystery. LOC 2017911090. Author Linda Lou Burton. 870-210-5170.

We’re a little confused by this here and wondering if any of you have received books like this from Amazon or this book from Amazon at your state center?
Thanks,
Bonnie Matheis
