Richard is being squeezed out of his premises by the landlord and he's having a huge... and I do mean a huge 60% discount on his books starting Thursday.
______________________________

Don't worry, I left tons of other cherries for ya to take home. The books I took home are all Can Lit, and as we all know, no one buys this stuff anyway, right? Ha!
