BOOK BARGAINS

A few weeks ago we bought in a load of vintage books to the shop. That same day, a guy came up to the counter with one of the books (an old Enid Blyton) and said “I would like to give you the full price on this but there’s a slight problem”. He opened the book.

The pages had been cored out so as to hide some sort of rectangular box. My immediate reaction was….how exciting…and actually, the customer really liked it as well – but I had to give him a discount!


In retrospect, had we known about this, I would probably have kept it to myself and hidden chocolate inside!
