Finding a book by its cover
A soccer mom came up with the following request.
"We were in here last week and a librarian found some information for my daughter on the years 1450-1600. We made copies, but now she needs to write down the sources. Can you find it for us?"
Me: "Um, what about those years did you need to know?"
"Oh my daughter is not here. I don't know." (Fortunately she was in the building.) Apparently she was researching Europe during that time.
"The books were green."
Me: "Were they the same size? Like a set?"
"Yes."
Believe it or not we found them. And by "we" I mean "me."
