Maybe they figured that by then niece was maybe old enough to hear some truths of life. Some old people have had rather scandalous pasts (and yes, I think I'd maybe rather not have learned that of my aunts).<br /><br />I think they might have found that book to be somewhat boring, had they lived long enough to read it (I have read bits, got it for free, and I have never refused free books.

Granted, while the sign out front says "McKay Used Books", it's technically "Richard McKay". I can't tell if there's a connection or not. Neither company acknowledges the other, but the signage is similar, as are the shelving structures.<br /><br />ChrisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-64122664669807021632012-09-24T12:00:36.352-04:002012-09-24T12:00:36.352-04:00She saw you coming.
