'We Only Had the One Copy'

A regression discontinuity at the tenth place in a suburban book club's library loan box, offered as the reading-list rule for Master of Priority Studies seminars.

A marketing poster for the School of Emergent Priorities reports that the members of a suburban book club who fell just past the tenth place in the library's ten-copy loan box, and so shared a copy, attended the monthly meeting more often than the members who held one to themselves. Master of Priority Studies seminars are now issued one copy short of their enrolment, shared in order of sign-up.
