I worked at a science and tech library and we had a RAND corp section. My favorite rand booklet was a study of earthquake faults in the kansas Missouri border region for what would become the wolf creek nuclear power plant.
There 1000s and 1000s of small booklets containing studies for the most inane and obscure seeming topics...having to pull from that shelf was hell nothing was in order.

I have a reprint of this. I really got jliat's goat arguing that these numbers aren't random because whenever you flip to the same page the numbers are the same as the last time.
