20th Edition :: ...and part-time rare book dealer

[mr_phale]

Well. Certainly it's been an interesting month, but today at least seemed peaceful. So, I'll take advantage of the rare quiet to mention that, at long last, my bookstore is ready to open!

So, bright and early during normal business hours, I will keep to that-- Monday morning, please do come down to Bilton and Scaggs and have a look! We've quite

A bookstore?

:D

[mr_phale]

Indeed. Not to slight the City's marvellous library, but... sometimes you simply need to own a book, I think.

[awillowywitch]

I totally, totally agree.

Well! I'm up for helping, if you want.

[mr_phale]

Ah, do you have experience working in a bookstore? I'll happily keep you in mind. I managed my old shop by myself, but we kept.. er.. rather shorter hours.

[fortunestrap]

A bookstore? That sounds excellent. I believe I may become a frequent customer.

[mr_phale]

Well, I certainly hope we're up to standards. It's not quite my old place, but I'm rather pleased with the state of things.

[fortunestrap]

I'll be sure to stop by tomorrow to explore your selection.

[mr_phale]

Oh, it's Monday that shall be the grand opening-- we'll be, er. Closed on Sundays. Old habit, you might say.

[primrosella]

Oh, a bookshop, how lovely!

[mr_phale]

I'm glad you think so! Do come have a look.

[primrosella]

I will, thank you! And I may have to recommend a friend of mine to you, as well. The Library is lovely, but sometimes it can make it rather hard to find a book you're looking for; I assume your shop wouldn't have that problem.

[mr_phale]

The books are a bit less likely to run away, indeed. And do feel free to spread the word.

[somekindofsin]

Do you have any books that... ah, that have a rather ominous feel to them? Bound in worn leather, imposing metallic clamps keeping them shut, dire Latin warnings around the edges...?

[mr_phale]

Er. I don't believe we do... generally speaking I try to avoid that sort of thing, and if I ended up with one it'd be in the back.

[somekindofsin]

Oh, avoiding them is entirely reasonable, of course! Keep at that.

Any run-of-the-mill demonology texts, then?

[mr_phale]

I believe I saw several, but nothing too, er, accurate in-depth, I'm afraid. If you stop by on Monday I'd be happy to show you our selection.

[proudbutterfly]

Ohhhhh. Quitting show business already? ♥

[mr_phale]

Oh, I should still be free in the evenings.

[proudbutterfly]

That's the spirit of a star, o magician! ♥
