Bookworm droppings
Check out Bookworm Droppings, a compilation of funny quotes from bookstores. Here are some of them:
“I had a book myself once. Never read it. It was blue. I don’t suppose you have a copy?”
When folks ask if I rent books, I tell them yes, certainly, for a non-refundable cash deposit…
I was once asked by a student for a copy of Tolstoy’s “Lord of the Rings.” I suggested the authoritative Tolkien translation.
Customer: Do you have a copy of the complete works of Edger Allen Poe?
Bookseller: We sure do! Have you tried in classics?
Customer: Yes but I am not sure who wrote it.
