My Poor Babies

This morning I had a pleasant surprise. I took about 100 of my old books and periodicals to the new Half-Price Bookstore here in Seine to see if the store would buy them for their own resale. I expected the manager to buy maybe a third or a half of my items, but he bought all of them. So the sale was easy. What was difficult was convincing the manager that Half-Price would have to devise some kind of system over the next twelve months or so, which would prevent me from entering the store over and over again and slowly buying back one by one the many books which I just sold to the store.
