Know Thy Stock

lol !

True!

Well, you certainly have to be crafty!

I found 'the art of parenthood' in the arts and crafts department of our library.

"autobiography"

I don't actually look for them, but sometimes one comes across one, or a book of religious stories, on an open stand (but in the non-fiction area) that one is scanning for something else.

I've never looked for a bible in a library bags but I would have thought that's where they were anyway. Or perhaps under autobiography?

I move bibles in libraries into the fiction section.

Not quite the same thing, but when Tony Blair's autobiography was published – was it called The Journey? – lots of naughty people visited bookshops all over the country and moved it from the biography section into fiction.

Scrape any fragments of fun and madness out of dullness. Good appraoch, methinks.

I'd be like butty and have some fun with it.

You would if you desperately needed a paying job and that was the shop that accepted you.

Neither would I elegran

I'd have thought no-one would work in a bookshop unless they have an interest in books.

Yep, there you have it, Jess

I dont think supermarkets worry to much about that do they? Just display the books with the celebs on the front in a prominent positions. job done.

If I had to stock books in a supermarket, I think I'd be bored witless so making sure fiction/non-fiction didn't get mixed up would not be top of my list of priorities.

would anyone like to come and organise my books? Actually quite proud of myself. Have taken about 20 carrier bags of books to oxfam recently. It is reasonably easy to get rid once the hand has plucked them from the shelf.
But there are a lot left...

And So I know my stock quite well.

I keep thinking this thread is going to be about soup . My excuse is that I have been making stock recently

Have you cleared that with GNHQ as its advertising?

Ouch![pained emoticon]

could have been "Knor thy stock "

Me too! I was going to mention doing a chicken carcass in the slow cooker for the first time recently. But I wont now.

Yep I thought it was about soup making too.
