'my library was dukedom large enough'
Bloomsbury Book Fair
A book fair was held in central London today. There weren't as many people as the last time I showed up, for my boss explains that they have gone to the hills, meaning 'away on holiday'. A decrease in customers results in price reduction, and it certainly worked. For as far as I can remember, two gentlemen left with a dozen books in one go--this makes me quite happy, knowing that I do not have to carry them again. You can say that a fair like this which contains 50+ stalls is pretty well-organised, because the person in charge acts sort of like a headmaster, the booksellers: schoolchildren. If you don't behave yourself, you will get told off, such as not putting away your boxes, packing up before 'school ends', or not paying the rent on time. It sure is like back to school.
