The Angry Bookseller

We’re sure you think you’re being very cute, getting your wife that Italy travel book because you’re surprising her with a trip to Rome this fall. But we wonder why you’re telling us. Do you have your Rewards card? Would you like to buy a book for a starving child? No, like we’ve said before, we don’t gift-wrap. We know it’s a gift, you told us. But we don’t care. We once lost a girlfriend in Rome. Maybe you’ll lose your wife there. Maybe they’ll meet while walking across Piazza San Pietro and fall forever in love with each other in that Eternal City. When that happens, don’t come see us. We won’t be here anymore.
