Book finished: Wierd Things Customers Say in Bookshops
28/07/2014
As a life-long reader, I couldn't resist borrowing this book as soon as I saw the title!

It was difficult reading though, it made me want to literally LOL, but you're not supposed to do that on the train.
It is only 41 pages, a quick read, and there is not much more to say without just quoting. Suffice it to say it is funny, and makes you realise not all heads have the same things going on inside, and some heads have no idea what is going on outside. Some short excerpts: - Customer: (holds up a biography): Do you have this book but without the photographs? Bookseller: I think the photographs are published alongside the text in every edition. Customer: Why? Bookseller: I suppose so you can see what everyone looked like. Customer: I don't like photographs. Bookseller: OK. Customer: Could you cut them out for me? Bookseller: ..... |
“Customer: I’d love to hold a fashion photo shoot in here. We could get models to come in and half bury themselves in books on the floor, or get them to hang from the bookshelves. Do you think your customers would mind?” |
Parent speaking to a misbehaving child: "There should be no yelling unless someone is on fire!" “Customer: Where are your fictional novels?” Customer: Do you have any old copies of Dickens? |
