Yet they sell expensive new books anyway, which is why I call them vermin. The key here is that used textbooks do not generate revenue for textbook companies. So they really had to show faculty, one-on-one over donuts or lunch or drinks, why the 12th edition ($600) was better than that ancient 11th edition ($25) the college used for the last 3 years and was suddenly unacceptable. They did that by politely comparing their new book to the other new textbooks in the next booth. Drinks and attractive sales-droids made the new books look better.

Except, of course, some people pay attention to all of this. and show up. The two exchanged a knowing look.

Well, you know how the book business is these days. so many people drawn to electronic media rather than good old-fashioned books. And the prices are high, especially for hardcover books.

Most of them have only one picture on the page and are a quarter of the size of a regular book. "Shit." I say quietly. "I can't believe it still costs ten bucks for a book that only has six pages. I can get a two hundred page paperback at the grocery store for the same price." Tiffany smirks. "But does your two hundred page paperback have fur like this touchy-feely book with a tiger on the front?" "It has fur?" I grab it out of her hands and begin going through it, touching all the different pictures as I turn the pages.

The cashier pointed to a nearby shelf. Holding the books, I walked to the shelf. There was a wide range of pens available. The cheapest ones were just a few dollars, while the most expensive ones cost over ten thousand. I stared at the price tags, feeling a pang of reluctance. But after some internal debate, I decided to buy it anyway. After all, if it weren't for Julian reminding me that I could draw comics, I wouldn't have found such a great side job and earned so much money. I chose a black pen and took it to the checkout.

I murmured, my discomfort plain. Vanessa's eyes reddened, brimming with unshed tears. Around us, murmurs began to ripple through the crowd of onlookers. "Is it really that big of a deal to just hit 'like'?" "Wow, what a drama queen. 150 bucks probably means nothing to her. She doesn't get what it's like for us regular folks." "I honestly don't get how someone like her ends up as student body president or gets a free pass into grad school."

"No, I hate you. You're a murderer." "Shona, please." Twisting my lips, I placed the destroyed book on the table side and walked out of the room to find him grinning. He nodded to the side. When I changed my gaze, I screamed, cupping my mouth. "I ordered your book. It's not author signed, but a new one. And I will read and mark the notes you made, I promise. Till then, you go through Game of Thrones books since you've trouble watching the series. And they're hardbacks." "But it was too costly." I had calculated the price of them together and they had calculated to total ten thousand, too over the budget I earned per month ever since I stopped using dad's money. "I can't take it."

She was also hidden in my backpack when I applied for the job in the local library, I always had a weak spot for the books and stories, when they took me I couldn’t be happier. My job was easy and simple, just help people buying their stories, cash them out, put the books back in place and finally I can read as much as I want. It was the best kind of job for me, I loved it and I got paid weekly, enough to eat, after my first paycheck, I had spent a full week starving,

I did that one too. On Thursday I found a night class. Almost by accident, a flyer pinned to the community board in the lobby of my building, half covered by a pizza delivery menu. Business Fundamentals. NYU School of Professional Studies. Thursday evenings. Enrollment open. I stood in the lobby in my work clothes holding the flyer and thought about the notebooks. Julian’s notebooks with my handwriting in the margins. The meeting notes I’d organized. The schedules I’d built. The way I’d always understood instinctively what a room needed, what a conversation needed, what a situation needed, not because anyone taught me but because I’d spent five years paying attention to everything while nobo

I shifted my eyes away from him as I started processing the payment. “Thirteen dollars,” I said, putting in the books in a brown paper bag. Materials here were a lot cheaper since the books are mostly second hand. But still, it’s not appealing enough for the community. People here value practicality rather than education. So having a packed bookstore in broad daylight is such a rare sight to see. All thanks to Florian. The customers decreased when lunch time approached. I usually eat a take-out from the eatery across the street. Their meals are cheap but superb. I couldn’t close the shop for a lunch break so I bring the food here at the till to continue my work.

Cooper responded. "Don't be shy with me. It's not expensive at all. There was a sale at the bookstore, so I got it for a dollar fifty." The smile on Mrs. Cooper's face froze at Avery's mention of the price of the book. Mrs. Cooper did not mind that the book was cheap, but she felt embarrassed for Avery.
