today's events include finding someone has added a "poisonous" book into stock and now I guess we have to do a whole staff meeting about why we cannot sell poisoned books to customers, and how a footnote is not considered to be taking sufficient precautions

I suppose we should be thankful it was poisonous and not venomous

further investigations have revealed that georg thinks the binding "may" have been treated with something to "counter" the poison, and again I feel the need to make the point that this is a bookstore, not a dungeon for level 4 d&d characters

we only stumbled across this entry in proof reading the latest catalogue so I guess this is yet more proof that a good editor can literally save your life

apparently the binding has been impregnated with some kind of noxious antiquated DIY insecticide

we have been back in the store for -two- days
