Do you have the book “Crawling through the Desert” by Peter Dragon? How about “Under the Bleachers” by Seymour Buttes? “The Complete Works of Leo Tolstoy” by Warren Piece?
I was at Shakespeare and Co in Paris trying to buy Life and Fate by Vasily Grossman. The cashier said it should be on the shelf, then the other cashier said the man in the line next to me was purchasing it, they laughed, I wept theatrically. Finally bought it months later, worth every moment.

You can get checkbooks at the library? Could I get someone else’s checkbook and go on a shopping spree?

Sounds like a book on day trading. You’re probably better off not getting it.
