Description: Now What! : Tales from the Annals of a San Francisco Bookseller (2001 Paperback) by Tro Harper Here are delightful tales of what happened in two bookstores, one on Powell street, the other on Market, in downtown San Francisco. You'll meet:The publisher's representative who sold books with the aid of a Colt .44 caliber pistol.The sales clerk who told a hold-up man to "get lost."The customer who bought a book on memory improvement and left it at the cash register.The story of the biggest "remainder" ever, amounting to 70,000 copies jobbed off for five cents a copy. Then the author won the Nobel Prize for literature. And for you who plan to open a bookstore, someday, there is a section of warnings, advice, and the best way to realize your dreams. You will find that most bookstore proprietors are far too busy to "settle down with a good book." When they go home at night, a bed looks better than an easy chair and slippers. So enjoy yourself : Pick a page, any page and start reading.
