It's like a dream come true: An entire warehouse filled with books of every description, and all you have to do is show up and take them home.

That's what happened last week at the U.K.'s Bristol Bookbarn.

 The owners of the store said that the lease on the building ran out, leaving them with truckloads of books to get rid of. But here's the thing: It was actually more expensive to return all those books to the publishers than to cut their losses and get out.

So that's what they did, creating a free-for-all with tens of thousands of books.

Amazingly, no injuries were reported, either from heavy-lifting or fights between Stephen King and Stephenie Meyer fans.
