Helpful Information

As bookstore employees we often have to utilize our skills in deciphering jumbled, nonsensical descriptions  in order to obtain enough information to find a certain title.

Example:

Customer On Phone:    " I was told to call your store, and that you might have what I'm looking for."

Me: " Okay, what title are you searching for?"

Customer On Phone:  " I don't remember. Something about music in the ears, and the author is dead."
