finding it between the covers...

Stunning bookseller (aka me): "Hi! Is there anything I can help you find tonight?"

Grouchy, grumpy lady (aka SUPER grouchy lady): "I think it's called 'Just Do It'. It's about sex. Do you have that?" (heavy sigh)

SB: "Let me just look on the computer. Oh, here we go! 'Just Do It: How One Couple Turned Off The TV And Turned On Their Sex Lives For 101 Days'. Is that the book you're wanting?"

GGL: "Yeah (deep sigh). Do you have it?"

SB: "I'm sorry, ma'am, but it appears we don't have it in stock at this time. However, the other store may have it available, or, if you'd like, I could order it for you."

GGL: "What do you you mean you don't have it in stock!! It came out today, didn't it?!"

SB: "Indeed it did, ma'am. Unfortunately, we sometimes don't receive all lesser known titles immediately upon release..."

GGL (interrupting): "Listen, it was on the TODAY show today. You guys should really think about gettin' some!!"

SB (smiling agreeably, thinking "As should you, ma'am. I already did, and I didn't need a book to get it. In fact, I'm thinkin' I'm gonna get some more later..."): "That's the ultimate goal, isn't it, ma'am? I'll be sure to short list it."
