The previous post in which I asked Fran whether or not she had been licking books in the Christmas displays has apparently caused some confusion. An explanation is in order. The book shown above -- which Fran had placed in one of the displays -- has a lovely emerald green cover. The green color, alas, comes from a pigment made with arsenic, and these books must be handled with care. They should definitely not be licked.
Of course, books in general should not be licked, although typically the risk to the book is greater than the risk to the person doing the licking. However, I do know a bookstore run by a retired longshoreman, and I believe that anyone caught licking a book in his store would in fact be in grave danger indeed. But I digress.
Pigments containing arsenic were popular in the late 19th century, though there were other green dyes and pigments which did not use arsenic. The book shown here -- Poets and Statesmen, Their Homes and Haunts was published by E. P. Williams in London in 1857, and has tested positive for the presence of arsenic.
Bearing this in mind, I will take this opportunity to declare an official policy in our bookshop: Book licking is not permitted.

I wanted to include green since I had so many green books on my shelves. Mint or lighter green is a pretty popular book cover color for YA lit too I’ve noticed. 
Green is the color I’ve chosen for Saturday! Happy reading everyone! :)

Green in nature is one thing, green in literature another. Nature and letters seem to have a natural antipathy; bring them together and they tear each other to pieces.

Everything is Fine
I am really quite alarmed and my heart is still beating much too fast, but I am sure that everything is fine. Just this morning I took a closer look at one of the Christmas displays Fran had created and I had to call her immediately with a crucial question:
"Fran! You didn't lick any of the books, did you?"
It took a moment for her to reply and I must tell you: That long pause was genuinely terrifying. But when she finally answered, she blurted out a single word:
"What???"
"The books you put in the Christmas displays. You didn't lick any of them, did you?"
She paused again, as if she found the question strange. Then, at last, she answered very slowly and deliberately, as if talking to a dim child."
"No, Azi, I did not lick any of the books."
"None of them? Especially not any of the green ones? Please tell me that you did not lick the cover of Poets and Statesmen, Their Homes and Haunts?"
"No."
"You're certain?"
She sighed. "Yes, I am 100% certain that I did not lick any of the books, and especially none of the green ones."
As you can imagine, I was greatly relieved. "Very well," I said. "But don't lick your fingers. And don't let anyone else lick your fingers. Also, you should wash your hands."
It was at that point that she hung up the phone.

Top 5 green books
Hello friends!! Welcome to Top 5 Tuesday!! This week’s topic is top 5 green books!! Why are we randomly doing a colour? It’s St Patrick’s Day!! Or, it was last Sunday. 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀 Personally, I’m not really on board with the hype of this holiday. It could be that I’m not Catholic. Or Irish. Or that I expended any potential f***s on this holiday by working in an Irish bar for 13 months and managed to…
