Pick three books and tell me how you would recommend them (try not to pick three that are too similar as the aim is to gauge how you would recommend books to different kinds of customers). Would you be willing to travel to other stores in the local area? What would you tell a customer who was looking to buy a book of the month, that you yourself had not read?
