One is Maugham's "Casuarina Tree". This book is a set of 28 hardcover editions of "Translation Essays" published by Shanghai Translation Publishing House in 2012, including three of Maugham's books, "Opinions", "Coming with Sex" and "The Casuarina Tree".

The biggest feature of this hardcover edition is that there is a picture similar to a small photo on the cover, embedded in a small grid of 5*6.5cm, the square is slightly engraved into the cover of the imitation cloth texture, and a small picture of 4*5.7cm is pasted on it, black and white or old oil painting color, and the interval between the photo and the small square is 0.4-0.5cm between the top and bottom and left and right, which perfectly presents the texture of the photo frame.

The cover of the whole book is like a photo hanging on the wall with monochrome wallpaper, which is very beautiful.

Douzi actually doesn't like to read this kind of book, although "The Casuarina Tree" is a collection of short stories, and as far as I know about Douzi, he doesn't read it.

Mephisto is mainly literary and historical books, the boss has a lot of books in his private collection, it is said that every time he moves to a new store, he has a headache, the price of the customized bookshelf is expensive, and the handling of tens of thousands of books is also a big project, I really hope that this store can always be opened in one place, and it will not be moved for several years or even decades.

Douzi said that I was sentimental, and I said that the book you bought is not cheap, and "Casuarina Tree" sells for 16 yuan, which is several yuan more expensive than Confucius's old books on the Internet.

Douzi smiled and said that I was stingy, "That feeling is different, you see I chatted with the clerk for half an hour, and we basked in the store for half an hour in the sunset, these are the values of the bookstore." ”

"And the quiet mood, which is what I like the most, even though it's in the city, Mephisto is quiet."

When I walked into this study, I wanted to sit down and read, and this was the kind of mood I wanted to suppress the restless bugs in my body as soon as I picked up a book.

Back at Ah Xi Bookstore, it was almost dinner time, and there was a little boy in the fourth or fifth grade standing outside the store, the boy was walking back and forth, the aisle outside the store was less than two square meters, and the boy looked a little irritable when he walked around.

"Who are you looking for?" I took out my keys and asked.

"There's a bookstore here." The boy looked at me with a wink.

He blinked a little fast, as if he had sand in his eyes all the time.

"Well, there's a bookstore, what's wrong?" Beanzi asked.

"That's great, grandma told me that there is a bookstore in No. 212, I have been looking for a long time, back and forth, from Changli Road Licheng Road to Changli Road Hongshan Road, I didn't see a bookstore at No. 212."

"Didn't you find the right one?"

The boy nodded vigorously, "I'm looking for a book, Jianghu emergency, sister, please, please." ”

"Ah, come in and talk slowly."

I opened the door, and the boy burst into the room, screaming.

"So many books? There really is a bookstore here. ”

Seeing the boy's happy appearance, Douzi couldn't help but laugh, "Well, your grandma didn't lie to you, so let's say, what do you want us to help you?" ”

"I'm looking for a book." The boy said again.

"Well, you've said it many times, I'm looking for a book, what kind of book is it?"

I turned on all the lights in the room to make it easier for the little boy to find books.

He squatted on the ground and moved his body sideways left and right, this method of finding books was the first time I had seen it, and after looking at the bottom layer of the four bookshelves on a wall several times, the boy stood up, bent sideways, and moved all the way to the right, and after reaching the windowsill, he moved all the way back to the left.

After searching around like an eraser, the boy looked at me and the beans with tears.

"Didn't find it?"

I'm a little sorry, but although we have a wide variety of books in our bookstore, there may not be any books that boys of this age want.

If it's looking for Jiangnan's "Dragon Family" and the like, we still have some books, if it's other books...... I don't really have to change it.
