The local chapter of the American Association of University Women (AAUW) is having their annual book sale this Friday and Saturday.
The sale is always located in the middle of the main corridor of one of our local shopping malls. Because of the large number of books to be put out each year, the ladies from the AAUW always start setting up for the sale Thursday morning and enforce a strict policy of “no sales” until the sale begins at 10:00 Friday Morning.
I have a friend named John, a retired school teacher, who has been selling books on Amazon for the last few years as a way to supplement his retirement income. John’s wife sent him to the mall shortly after it opened Thursday morning to pick up something for her. On his way out of the mall, hoping to scope-out the location of a few good books, he asked one of the two women there if he could “just look” at what they had out.
Her response was, “Go right ahead. If you find any you are interested in, buy them. We’re here to sell them.”
“I can buy them now?”, he responded.
“Buy all you want”, she replied.
