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]" Wayne Homren, Editor The Numismatic Bibliomania Society is a non-profit organization promoting numismatic literature. See our web site at coinbooks.org.
