description: Meet the publisher's representative who sold books with the aid of a Colt .44 caliber pistol. The sales clerk who told a hold-up man to "get lost." The customer who bought a book on memory improvement and left it at the cash register. The story of the biggest "remainder" ever, amounting to 70,000 copies jobbed off for five cents a copy. Then the author won the Nobel Prize for literature. And for you who plan to open a bookstore, someday, there is a section of warnings, advice, and the best way to realize your dreams.
