"When Ayn Rand Had Her Section In the Bookstore" by Guillermo Bowie
How things change
Just a short time ago I was
Selling books downtown
A bookseller at B Daltons Bookseller
A nameless and placeless individual
Placing the books in their designated places according to the author on the shelves of the bookstore
Paying all of the attention required to the sales of books in the mass market of productions
Each and every book of the large store in it’s fixed place in memory
Now that twenty years have gone by
How a certain position has changed
Regarding the supply of books
Now being that the care of the texts by Ayn Rand with their reserved places has become a personal
inheritance
