The Secret Lives of Booksellers and Librarians

Dale, a regular, comes in looking for a Christmas gift for his wife. “We have a beautiful, autographed box set of Ken Follett’s Century trilogy,” I tell him. “I definitely recommend that you buy it for her before I buy it for myself!” I’m only half-joking—I already own all the Follett books, but the temptation to purchase this signed box set anyway is strong. Dale is convinced, and the gift is a big hit with his wife, Rita.
