Review of Sam Haine's Book Shop.

Sam Haine's Book Shop is a book shop of the old school. This invariably means that the opening hours are erratic and arbitrary, dependent solely on the owner's whims. The shop itself is a grand old building that has clearly seen better days if not better epochs. Legend has it that the building was originally designed by either John Hawksmoor or Nimrod of Babylon. Should you be fortunate enough to find the well hidden entrance in the impressive facade, and still more fortunate to find the door unbarred you may enter its labyrinthine by-ways.
The stacks are spread over several floors and organised by a system of Mr Haine's own devizing. It is said that those who are able to to discern and decipher this schema of Mr Haine will instantly understand the secret of life itself. Many poor and misguided souls have tried to grasp this greatest of mysteries and may be seen still roving the stacks, gibbering shades of their former selves.
Mr Haine retains two assistants who must learn the the place of every book relative to certain fixed points within the shop. This extraordinary feat of memory excuses the often pained and harrassed look these unfortunates wear daily. Let me say this of the stock.....

Here this unpublished review, recovered from the spontaneous fire which flared in the gardening section, finishes; the only other marks on the paper are some red brown stains which Mr Haine maintains are Raspberry Jam. Hartley's probably.
