Customer: “Can you help me find a book?”
Me: “Sure! What are you looking for?”
Customer: “It’s called The Scarlet Thread.”
Me: “I haven’t heard of that one. Let me look it up really quick.”
Customer: “It’s by Jane Austen, if that helps.”
Me: “Um, I don’t think it is.”
Customer: “No, it’s by Jane Austen.”
Me: “I’m sorry, ma’am, but I’m pretty sure Jane Austen never wrote a book called The Scarlet Thread.”
Customer: “Oh, well, you probably haven’t heard of it because I think it’s one of her new books.”
