Tired, tired, tired...
Mar. 2nd, 2004 06:45 pmHow on Earth did I used to cope with weekend closes?
It's all the fault of the annual ( Oscar night party... )
After being away since Wednesday, there were 200 odd titles to re-order and a little bit of gossip to catch up on. Duncan the outgoing ROM had been highly impressed with everything on his visit. He replied to my letter, and even seemed a bit apologetic about his return to the North (triggering our 6th or 7th ROM change).
JC collected his belongings on Thursday night, supervised by Duncan. I'm now at the stage where I'm finding blackly comic possibilities in book titles. We've just received Charles Bronson's "The Good Prison Guide" ; I was also struck by Harlan Coben's last three crime thrillers, which are, "Tell No One", "No Second Chance" and "Gone for Good".
Post-JC I'm now starting to get some of the buying training I should have had eighteen months ago. Exploring the software today I found the provisional cover for "The Wheel in Space" (and learned that someone's optimistically subbed in four copies of it), and also discovered the BBC casting round slightly desperately for any Alan Bennett title to release. Unless there's been a petition to release "Kafka's Dick" that I don't know about...
