They’d always get baffled and angry when I said I couldn’t take the books, and they’d have to remove them immediately. Presumably they’d been living with the stench for so long that they didn’t even notice it. Their homes must have been awful.
This sounds like a cool job! Is it as cool as it sounds? I imagine you were purchasing original copies of collected works of Bill Shakespeare and what not. Or was it more buying the Double Digest of "Archie and Jughead".
