Old School

"Do you have any O-Level textbooks for Economics?"

Why yes madam, of course we have out of print books, in a subject that I'm fairly sure was never taught at O-Level, which at any rate hasn't existed for over twenty years.

Sale shopping 101

Surely everyone knows the basic principles of a clearance sale. Old editions, old hardbacks, damaged books and occasional buyer errors (500 copies of the Frankie Dettori biography, anyone?) are the rule of the day. So why is there always one smartarse who comes up and asks something along the lines of "Do you have Snakehead in this sale?"

Still two days to go...
