Professor Booknoodle © is an autodidactic used and rare book dealer from the Edwardian Era of the early 20th century who has found that he has been inexplicably transplanted to the 21st century. The Professor has adjusted nicely. He still pursues bookselling as an avocation, and sells the occasional book. The Professor has noticed a change in the complexity of shipping. But his biggest perplexity is, in his own words, "How the deuce did I get shipped to the future?"

Sorry Saleman's Sample
My twin aunts, T'batha and S'mantha, husband-hunters of a tenacious nature, ordered a salesman's sample from a local publishing house, which sample the house promised to deliver to them at their residence.
When the man from the publisher knocked on their door, they were mightily disappointed at seeing only a single rather seedy-looking individual of short stature and less hair.
"That's a singularly poor sample", said S'mantha.
"Really", replied T'batha, "they could have at least sent a few more to choose from".
