Speaking of horrific bookseller experiences…
Dear sir,
I can understand why you weren’t fond of a giant bug. What I don’t understand is why you (1) chose to smash it with a book, (2) put a white label over smashed bug rather than cleaning it off the book, (3) and then donated book - bug, label and all - to the local used bookstore.
No love,
Person who sorts through donated books.
