Lovely, rainy day. A friend of mine said once that he was only really happy when it rained. I thought he was kidding, but a rainy day does offer some break from the day to day regularity of wind and sun, does it not? The store is well, more clean and orderly than usual, due to the dilligence of one motivated bookseller, yours truly. I have committed to shelving x number of books every day so as to not have my customers tripping all over themselves to get to their next new book.
As your local caring and responsible bookseller, I must urge you all to heed my sandwich board on the sidewalk. I only encourage this because I care. It says:
'Wear the old coat and buy the new book.'
-Austin Phelps
Buy 'new', of course, I mean new to you, but that goes with out saying.
Furthermore,
"Read, read, read."
-William Faulkner
