Guess there really is a service for everything. One would have thought though, that highly educated politicians and officials would intrinsically be well-read and have their own book collections already.

On a converse side of things. I actually delibrately removed a load of books from my bookshelves that can be seen on Zoom etc (if I'm not using a background or blurring etc).

Working in NGO security I prefer that people don't always know easily all the qualifications I have. Similarly I love what I do but studied and read widely about stuff like terrorism, counter-terrorism, intelligence. "Blood and Rage" for example is a very interesting book but prefer people not spend half a call distracted by what's on my shelf!

Why bother with real books in the first place? just print the spines.

Customers surely relish the irony of the misspelled sign on the large box of religious books.
