Quote of the Day: Weird Things Customers Say in Bookstores
Edited by Jen Campbell:
customer: Hi, I've got a book on reserve and I've come to pick it up.
bookseller: Sure, what's your name, and what was the title of the book?
customer: My name's Stuart and it was volume one of The Waverley Children's Dictionary.
bookseller: I'm sorry, I can't see that on our reserve shelf. When did you come in and reserve it?
customer: Oh, it was a while ago now.
bookseller: A couple of weeks?
customer: No... more like a year and a half.
bookseller: I'm afraid we only reserve books for a month and then they have to back out in the store. We don't have the space to keep them to one side for longer.
customer: But I was really looking forward to reading that!
