Friends (1990)
“The man who answers says “Who’s the publisher?” and Will tells him and the man says “Just a second.” He goes, comes back and says “No, we haven’t got it but I can order it for you,” and Will says “I need a copy right away as a present, but thanks.”
He calls another bookstore and says “Do you have a book called Forewarned by someone named Taub or something—I suppose that’s his last name. The publisher is South Street Press.” The woman who answers says “Fiction, nonfiction?” and he says “Fiction—...a novel or collection of novellas I think. Anyway, one of those, and in hardcover.” She says “I never know what we have around here, let me check,” and goes, comes back and says “His name’s William Taub, it’s a novel, and we don’t have it. Like me to get a copy for you?” and he says “No thanks—I don’t need it immediately. I’ll drop by in a few days and if there’s a copy there, I’ll buy it then.”
