Seems ridiculously hard to prove. not that that is unusual in consumer
laws.

cm you can keep the book. If out of the blue, amazon sent you a book and didn't
cm ask for money, but it was obviously sent in error (i.e. to the wrong
cm address, or additional to an order you had made), then it is not unsolicited
cm goods and you can't just keep it.

Well, buggered if I'm going to spend time and/or money correcting
their mistake for them, and if I just ignore it I am providing them
with free warehousing, so I don't seem to have any option which is
both legal and acceptable.

Maybe I just put it out in the street, so long as i can do so without
being done for littering.
