I am here at home waiting for my kids to finish getting ready for school, so I called my wife, who went into the store early to try to get some work done before people started bothering us by trying to come in and buy something ....
Her response was "What new book?" So I guess we don't carry it! :-) Actually, we carry books based upon the expectations of our customers as to what an LDS book should be like. If there is anything "inappropriate" in a book, customers will come back and complain about it. We try to read every book that is out prior to carrying it, other than, of course, books by such small fry as GBH. Our son goes to a "Christian" (eh, John! :-) private school , and my wife buys all their books since we sell them to the school at cost. They once wanted Card's "Ender's Game" and my wife, not knowing it like I do, went ahead and ordered it for them. (I wish she would have asked me first.) Were they ever surprised! Luckily, they don't know he is LDS. It is tough being the only true Christians in a school run by people who belong to the Church of Satan! And, by the way, I too like to study ancient Egyptian stuff. I can even go one better! When I was a wee lad and Lived in San Jose (CA), I lived close by the Rosicrucian Museum and frequented it often, as they also had a planetarium. Kewl place! (On the corner of Naegle and Park Ave, right across from Herbert Hoover Junior High School and the Park Ave. Pharmacy). I think that this trumps Paul's merely "studying" about the heathens. Unless, of course, the bookstore (and not carrying Card or Signature books) automatically disqualifies me. :-( Jon Gary Smith wrote: > Let's see, Paul studies ancient Egyptian stuff, while Jon owns an LDS > bookstore.... > > Yep, I'd say Paul is more rebellious than Jon. > > Now, if Jon sells copies of Orson Scott Card's new book (recently banned > from Deseret Book's shelves), THEN we'll consider him in the running. > > K'aya K'ama, > Gerald/gary Smith gszion1 @juno.com http://www > .geocities.com/rameumptom/index.html > "No one is as hopelessly enslaved as the person who thinks he's free." - > Johann Wolfgang von Goethe > > > Paul: > I'll bet I'm more rebellious than you Jon! ;-) > > Paul O ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// /// ZION LIST CHARTER: Please read it at /// /// http://www.zionsbest.com/charter.html /// ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ==^================================================================ This email was sent to: [email protected] EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?aaP9AU.bWix1n.YXJjaGl2 Or send an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] T O P I C A -- Register now to manage your mail! http://www.topica.com/partner/tag02/register ==^================================================================
