Don't Do This

I came across a seemingly wonderful website. Beautiful books, and they boast 18 miles of them! And I even agree that books can be some of the most beautiful form of decor. But only when they are books that you have read (or at least have some interest in), bought will a great deal of thought poured over them, enjoyed their knowledge and treasure deeply. This: http://www.strandbooks.com/bbtfoot/. This is not the way to buy books. And, imagine the embarrassment when a date walks into your apartment and exclaims, "I love Langston Hughes!" and you have to say "Who?"
"You have a biography of him here."
"Oh, well, I just bought those books by the foot..."
