"Overheard at the Bookstore" by Judith Henry
Universe Publishing, 2000

• "Some people like to think, but me, I just like to read."
• "Do you have anything for dummies?"
• "This book is very expensive--I guess they charge by the pound."
• "I need a book that doesn't put me to sleep."
• "That's a really bad beginning."
• "So all your money goes for books, but food's important too."
• "I asked for a book on the Beatles and he sent me to the nature section."
• "The thing I don't understand is, who writes these books?"
• "The cover looks good, but don't be fooled." 
• "I don't know the title or author, but the book's purple."
