Approximately 2000 new books since 10am. A madhouse day, more like the week before Christmas than mid-April. Door open, light breeze curling round. Live Talking Heads on the deck, all jittery fast guitars and start-stop rhythms. Sunlight, green leaves curling in the wind. Purple posters for John Armstrong's launch -- Friday 24 April, 7-9pm, a joint Pulpfiction/New Star Books presentation -- in the window.

"So, what kind of books do you buy?" (Aggressive spurned hawker of Reader's Digest, John Grisham, & etc.)

"Not these ones."
