Sounds like you got lucky indeed. Incidentally the idea of locking books down is a very old one. If you've seen books held in a cover made of wood covered in leather with a chain attached (in a museum) that's why it looks that way. In the old days those who could afford hand written books (Pre-Gutenberg) would literally chain their books to the library table sometimes so that guests wouldn't go home with something extra in their luggage.
