Han: They may simply be honoring Ray Bradbury's famous book, "Fahrenheit 451," which is a major classic. I even have a first edition of it. As it was always a paperback, I suspect it isn't really as valuable as I would like. Its original price was 35 cents, by the way.

They also practised an idea: call this shop "451 graden Fahrenheit" (graden means degrees). They say that is the temperature at which cigarette paper ignites; only, they use the wrong scale. Han
