Well, I didn't mentioned it before. But, I have a job. I've been made Assistant Manager of a rare book shop. Apparently owning one counted as enough experience.

Although, apparently they actually want to sell their books. Instead of only reluctantly. It's quite off-putting.

	Why didn't you just miracle your own bookshop? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	It just wouldn't be the same, dear boy. And, there a whole lot of logistics to think about, such as where to put it. It's easier to locate it where there is already a shop. And then I'd have to rebuild my collection. Which I can't miracle up, it's just not the same. They wouldn't be...authentic. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh. What kind of stuff was in your collection? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I had a copy of almost every single book of prophecies ever written. It was a hobby of mine. And, also an awful lot of first editions, some of them even signed. I'd list them, but it is an extrememly long list. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sounds like a museum. Maybe you could visit the Met? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Possibly a little bit. But they were mine, which made quite the difference. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah, I get that. I wouldn't want to just trade out my shield or anything. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Honestly, I was always quite sad to see them go, if someone bought one. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sounds like you should be a librarian, and not a seller of books. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Dear God no! People would return the books with the covers all bent and crease the pages, or heaven forbid, write on the bloody pages! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[...] There are librarians who take care of the like, old stuff. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	But again, thpse wouldn't be mine. And other people would interfere. I was actually quite good at not selling any books I didn't want to. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	How the hell did you make any money? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I didn't. I never really needed to. (Reply to this) (Parent)
