Hardcore Heavy Metal

You get some very odd ones in Antiquarian bookshops....

So here I was, innocently working away in my little shop........
When a very respectable chap walks in.
Typical customer. Mid Sixties, smartly dressed with a checked jacket (and obligatory hankerchief to top pocket)
Tie, neat trousers, brogues etc: Neat moustache.

"Can I help you" I intone in my nicest, middle english bookseller voice.

"I do hope so" came back. "Do you have any biographies on Marilyn Manson, they're my favourite band, they're awfully good.. Do you know them?"
