    About this ebook

    Dan Strauss, like any other guy, wants to make his girlfriend happy. So when she insists on him buying a real physical book to read for the summer (the kind with paper and glue for binding the cover all together), he doesn't hesitate. He finds himself in an unusual New And Used Bookshop with a clerk unlike anyone he's ever met. Before he walks away with a book he believes will do the trick, the clerk makes him an unforgettably odd offer: If Dan doesn't like it, he can return it in exchange for a different memory. Guaranteed.
