BOOKSELLERS AND BOOKSELLING

A bookseller reports these mistakes of customers in sending orders:

AS ORDERED CORRECT TITLE
Lame as a Roble Les Misérables
God's Image in Mud God's Image in Man
Pair of Saucers Paracelsus
Pierre and His Poodle Pierre and His People

When a customer in a Boston department store asked a clerk for Hichens's Bella Donna, the reply was, "Drug counter, third aisle over."


It was a few days before Christmas in one of New York's large book-stores.

CLERK—"What is it, please?"

CUSTOMER—"I would like Ibsen's A Doll's House."

CLERK—"To cut out?"
