"You'll never finish that here, why don't you just buy it." "I heard that this is a good one, and it's the thickest too!" 
 Overheard at the Bookstore records the funny, ridiculous, and crazy things said in bookstores and combines black-and-white photography, capturing readers at their most compelling. 
 This second in the series celebrates the joy of reading books and the pleasure we get from communing at places we buy them. From biggest modern chain to a quaint, musty nook, bookstores have charm. They have become the places to "be." Cafes and elaborate theme sections for energetic children embellish the once silent areas. Bookstores have become social arenas. Hear the amusing things we say in this setting.

Wish you could remember all those witty remarks shouted between two women as they spar over the last silk blouse on sale? Ever feel a strange connection to the woman in the next dressing room as she blurts out phrases dripping with frustration while trying to fit into that tiny cocktail dress? The Overheard series has become an eavesdropper's paradise, coupling lively quotes with poignant black-and-white photographs. In this third and exciting installment, Judith Henry has scoured malls, boutiques, and department stores to assemble the best snippets from one of the most beloved and hated pastimes--shopping. Filled with loads of ear candy and humor, While Shopping is dedicated to those of us who can't stop saying, "charge it please," "I can't decide," or "how do i look in this?"
