I bet there’s a lot of one star Yelp reviews “A.Z. Fell and Co. Bookshop,” like:
“Is this store ever actually open?”
“By some miracle the store was open when I went in. It smells really bad? I don’t know why. Incredibly dusty and disorganized. Could not find any staff member when I wanted to buy a book. Ended up giving up and going home.”
“Unparalleled collection but awful, awful staff. Tried to purchase a 16th century book of prophecy I’ve been trying to get my hands on for years. Shopkeeper treated me like I was trying to steal it and then refused to let me purchase it, while casting some very nasty aspirations on my character based on how I handled the spines of early modern volumes when taking them off of a shelf. Will NOT be coming back.”
“Went in to browse. Two very odd men in suits came in and loudly discussed needing to buy pornography. The shopkeeper took them to the backroom and then after the two men left (without a book, mind you), the owner kicked us out and closed. I think this bookshop is a front for the mafia.”
“There is a large snake roaming around the store.”
