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 !"
