The E-Sylum:  Volume 5, Number 17, April 21, 2002, Article 16

EVERYTHING IS FOR SALE.  EXCEPT THAT. AND THAT, AND THAT, AND THAT ...

  Joel Orosz sends the following item clipped from News of
  the Weird  (http://www.NewsoftheWeird.com/).  It was
  filed under the "Unclear on the Concept" category:

  "Carol Urness, recently retired University of Minnesota
  librarian,  opened a used-book store in February in St.
 Anthony, Minn.,  consisting of about 1,000 books from
  her own collection, but told a Minneapolis Star Tribune
  reporter that often she refuses to sell a book on the shelf
  because she can't stand to part with it.

  "The first day, a woman walked in and bought three
  books,"  she said, "and I about had a stroke." "This
  bookstore is hard to find," she added, "and once you
  get here, it's almost impossible to buy anything."
  [Star Tribune, 3-1-02]"
