Example: Certainly the last thing we want is that books be shut up in tastefully decorated warehouses, watched over by highly trained storekeepers whose main purpose is to see that everything is kept tidily in its place and, as far as possible, untouched by human hands -- especially the sticky-fingered hands of marauding children.Example: A librarian should be as unwilling to allow an enquirer to leave the library with his question unanswered as a shop-keeper is to have a customer go out of his store without making a purchase.Example: To sell books is still more special than to sell groceries even though the profits may be pitifully low and to be a bookshop proprietor is a much more middle-class status than is that of grocer, haberdasher or vendor of garden implements.Example: Gangs of hoodlums, aged as young as eight, are roaming the streets terrorising store owners and shoppers in broad daylight.Example: He lived with his mother and two younger sisters in an inner-city suburb and worked as a storeman at a local supermarket.
