Staff: "Is there a specific title or author that you had in mind that I can look for?"
C: "No. I just want to know what you have on [----]."
S: "Unless you have a specific book or books that you're looking for, I don't really have anything to go on."
C: "Just go look in the [----] section and tell me what you have on [----]."
