Time spent in a bookshop can be most enjoyable, whether you are a book lover or onlythere to buy a book as a present. You may even have entered the shop just tofind shelter from a sudden shower. Whatever the reason, you can soon becometotally unaware of your surroundings. The desire to pick up a book with anattractive design is irresistible, although this method of selection ought notto be followed, as you might end up with a rather uninteresting book. You soonbecome lost in some book or other, and usually it is only much later that yourealize you have spent far too much time there and must hurry to keep someforgotten appointment — without buying a book, of course.
