I requested books from last week’s best seller list of hardcover books in the New York Times [from the Great Neck Library.]
The fiction books are bought in too great a quantity. Since I waited a week before requesting I allowed all the really anxious reader to precede me.
For one book I was second on a list of four available. Translating this I will have the book next week.
From the nonfiction list I requested two books.
For the one Drew Barrymore wrote I was seventh on the list for the one book in the collection. I accept that.
For the book Gloria Steinem wrote I was 10th on the list for the one book in the library. This is also acceptable.
She is not going away and I will probably have the books by Christmas.
Too many best sellers ordered. Save money.
A two-month wait is very acceptable if you do not want to go out to the store and buy the book.
