naked lunch by william s. burroughs greatest work of fiction since the bible

Any time of book, as long as it's in print in the UK. Obviously I don't expect everybody to know if something's in print, but I'll just let you know.

And the reviews will be displayed. I'll correct any spelling, otherwise we'll get every other customer pointing out that lots of words are missing letters.;)


I wouldn't worry too much about the type of customer we have. The good thing about doing recommends is that you can forget your market for a while. It's just about trying to enthuse people. It's really surprising and satisfying to sell books that you wouldn't consider to be your market.

And I run two bookshops, but they're not mine.

By the way, some selections are going to have an advantage (at the moment: Naked Lunch, Crime & Punishment, Picture of Dorian Gray, Fear & Loathing, House of Leaves), because they sell well anyway. But I'll give more prominent space to the more unusual selections to make up for it!

i want daily reports and graphs/pie charts and predicted sales figures.

so would i really automatically win if i pick the latest harry potter, whatever that is?

or else... something like this!



wouldn't that cover alone sell millions? i think so!

but anyway...

actually i don't care for mass appeal (yuck), if i get just 1 person to buy "democracy in america" i'll be proud. maybe i'll change the review to something less opportunistic, but... it's sales after all!

might shoot you other reviews later. i'm thinking about what...

oh, and... sweet job you have! congratulations.

I have this book! And yes, it sells really well anyway.

Unusual books are good. So far, the only book out of the ones people have written reviews for that I won't be able to stock, is Kangaroo Notebook.

which book shop is it you work for?

Do you think I'm going to tell you that? So you can use your friends in the south (ie sonicl) to sabotage other people's reviews.

no no no. i was genuinely enquiring.

I had to sign the Official Secrets Act before he'd tell me.

(Although the identity of the bookshop that he works at wasn't actually the secret that he was aiming to keep me from exposing)

And the review?

I stopped eating meat after I read that one.

Option nr. 2



:rolleyes:

Baby massage books are very popular. We took our daughter to baby massage classes.

They say it works wonders.
I'm to afraid to read it, 'cause the photo's sound dodgy.

There's a very good method for releasing wind (bottom wind no less), which we always found handy. We will be telling her boyfriends about this when the time comes.

Review:

Why go around life following trite proverbs? Throw caution to the wind and JUDGE THIS BOOK BY ITS COVER! Our favorite Domestic Goddess won't disappoint.

James Herbert's The Rats: Classic '70s brit sleaze that was read by everyone when I was at school - mostly for the dirty bits (oh yes ... and the section where the rats eat the puppies!) Big with unemployed metalers, for some reason.

 

So which books have you decided on Pookie?

Animal Farm by George Orwell

Absolute classic piece about the rise and fall of communism on a farm.
