Presuming your scenario is correct, it could confuse Borders' stock systems when they sell one more of that book than they thought they had - but OTOH that might be concealed by shrinkage, and I don't think they really care at the moment given they want rid of everything.
From a different angle, Borders sold you a book that apparently wasn't theirs to sell you. You bought it in good faith and have a receipt for it, but they might technically have committed theft by finding. However, books are fungible, and anyway, who's going to raise a stink over a sub-tenner paperback?

Yes, this was the sort of thing I was wondering about. I don't think I do have the Borders receipt any more, unfortunately, so it would be difficult to prove, well, anything very much really.
