    BOOKS: A CRUTCH FOR FOOLS?

    Paul Withers writes: "Readers of The E-Sylum may find the
    following, which we have just added to our 'Wazzock's Corner'
    on our website (www.galata.co.uk) amusing. A lot of my
    wazzock stories come via my good friend Gary, who has a
    retail outlet in Birmingham and sees more than we do of the
    public.

    A collector who sells him coins from time to time
    approached him with the amazing story that someone to whom
    he had recommended Gary as a buyer told him that he had
    been to their office once and on no account would he go to
    there again, as far from being experts, they didn't know what
    they were doing.

    "How do you know that they don't know what they are
    doing ?" he asked.

    "Stands to reason" said the bloke, "if they really knew what
    they were doing, they wouldn't need all those books they've
    got."

    There is a certain inescapable logic about that, I suppose !"
