A mouse took a stroll through the deep dark shop. The mouse saw a box and it made him stop. 'Where are you going to, Macmillan box? Let me scan all your contents into stock.' 'It's frightfully nice of you, mouse, but no - My contents are under embargó.' 'An embargó? What's an embargó?'

no idea why this lad is so pleased to have been given a free copy of 'impossible creatures' - he already has it, both in hardback and paperback. they are on the shelf just to the left of his head. (and i am pretty sure there is a second copy of the hbk on the stack just above his head, too.)
