Vintage paperback covers on display
Changed out the spinner rack in the front which had previously held mystery mmpbs to be vintage mmpbs. No one much went over to that one, and some of the old vintage paperback covers look really great, so having them face out on the spinner instead of spine out on the shelf might work better.

Well we horribly offended this lady because we didn't want to buy her great books. We kept telling her we weren't trying to make a judgment on the quality of the writing (and we're sure Danielle Steel is a fine writer she's certainly sold millions of books) we just couldn't use them. But she was quite outraged that we wouldn't take them, ah well. We have plenty of Danielle Steel books already - we'd be glad to sell them, but we don't need more copies if what we have aren't selling.

The new machine finally arrived. It's all set up and looks to be working fine. We can now also accept debit cards directly instead of running them as credit.
Pair of damn thieves stole the laptop yesterday. The woman distracted us with crazy questions (on retrospect she was acting a bit nervous, and kept trying to get our attention to the opposite direction of the door), while the guy with the foul mouth must have reached over the counter, swiped it, and left. Didn't notice at the time, but it was there before them, and they were the last ones in the shop and it's not there this morning. Most annoying, even if we never did get it to network, and don't think there was anything personal on it.
