We sometimes watch this pawn shop show on TV on the history channel on Saturday nights. Tonight there is a man selling an autographed book by Dwight Eisenhower. The expert brought in to validate the book said it was Eisenhower's signature but because the book the seller had in hand did not have the dust cover that originally came with the book the product was not complete. A book should come complete with everything that came with it originally for maximum value.
As I watch this I am read an interesting novel called The Resurrectionist by Matthew Guinn. In the story the protagonist is doing some library research. He is dealing with an archivist when I read this.

Janice almost smiles. "I am an archivist, Dr. Thacker, which means I am a completist. What good is the historical record if it is not complete."

Jung called this synchronicity. Another word for it is coincidence.
