Does anyone happen to know where I might go to get a good book?

[Amiably and cheerfully:] If you cannot find a library or a shop, perhaps you could write one of your own?

voice;

[squashesdoves]

I'm afraid I'm not much of a writer myself. The one time I tried, it didn't end well. I suppose I could do some sort of travelogue, though. "Adventures in the Amsterdam of the Multiverse", or something.

voice;

[prodigaluncle]

Travel is an exciting affair. But what is Amsterdam?

[voice]

[reddestrobin]

You try the library?

voice;

[squashesdoves]

I... that really should have occurred to me, shouldn't it. You'll have to forgive me, it's been a long time since I've had to leave my house to get reading material.

[wonderingly]

A library.

[voice]

[reddestrobin]

[ what what is this guy ]

You didn't think of a library on your own? Dude, how long were you in your house, then?

[squashesdoves]

[ AZIRAPHALE DOES NOT REALLY BELIEVE IN THIS LIBRARY BUSINESS ]

Hm? Oh. I-- well, I used to own a bookshop, y'see. I suppose I'm a little spoiled.

voice;

[deadlieststing]

The bookstore.

voice;

[squashesdoves]

Thank you, dear lady. I don't suppose you'd like to name names...?

voice;

[deadlieststing]

Barnes and Noble, perhaps. Or any of the little bookshops one can find in Seattle. Right beside the coffeeshops, in most cases.

voice.

[iownkickassguns]

There's a place close to Lake Forest Park. I can't remember the name. But downtown would also have a few places you could explore.

voice;

[squashesdoves]

That's very helpful, thank you.

voice;

[iownkickassguns]

Good. Any particular book you're looking for?

voice;

[temerariousness]

Oh, I found an awfully nice store yesterday. Do you like books, then?

voice;

[squashesdoves]

Yes, I do. And it's been far too long since I've sat down with a stack of them. [sigh]

Was the store in Seattle, by any chance?

voice;

[temerariousness]

No, it was in Manhattan, though I do not think it matters very much where it is, when they will send you any book you like to your home.

[wistful] I do so want to have a stack of books for my own, only they are perhaps a little too small to read comfortably by myself now that I have grown. Do you know if there are books that are larger?

voice;

[squashesdoves]

I once owned a Bible that was two feet long. I don't know if they have anything of the kind in this universe, though.

[aaaand, on a hunch--]

...how large are you, my dear?
