Spending time in a bookshop can be enjoyable. If you go to a good bookshop, no assistant(店员)will come near to you and say, "Can I help you? "You needn't buy anything you don't want. If you want to find some books, the assistant will lead you there and then he or she will go away. He or she seems not to be interested in selling any books at all.
There is a story about a good bookshop. A student wanted to buy a very useful book in the bookshop. But it was too expensive for him to buy. So every afternoon, he went there to read a little at a time. (One day, however, he couldn't find the book from its usual place. He was leaving when he saw an assistant signing(示意)to him. He was surprised that the assistant pointed to the book in the corner. "I put it there so that people couldn't see it or buy it," said the assistant. Then he left the student to go on with his reading.
