Adventures In Bookselling

By Mike Lawson// Book Snob // No Comments

Over at The Book Lady’s Blog there’s a pretty entertaining series called “Adventures in Book Selling” where Melissa from Scuffed Slippers and Wormy Books writes about her adventures working in a book store.

Any regular old book snob, like myself would get a kick out of this. I particularly liked this one:

The “I-can’t-believe-I-just-heard-that-lemme-collect-my-jaw-from-the-floor” scenario

(right after J.D. Salinger’s death)

Says one ditzy teenage girl to another: “So this Saliva guy who wrote a book about baseball died this week…everyone’s talking about it. I have no idea who that is.” [must….restrain….fist….of….death]
