Books in Kilograms

Stationery, Grocery, Vegetables and fruits, Shoes, electronic goods are sold differently. Stationery is sold in numbers or dozens or pairs (all in close relationship with numbers), Grocery in weight, Vegetables in weight and fruits in numbers and dozens. Shoes are sold in pairs and electronic goods in numbers. All these goods are consumer usable, food to eat or shoes to wear or a television to entertain. There are standards of weights and measure that a country approves and others like a dozen or pair can be known out of common sense.

I am trying to disembark on something that appeared in a newspaper advertisement which sprang out from my heart a cry that will reach all those connoisseurs who line up books neatly in their bookshelves in the studio. All those aficionado who climb stairs of libraries and wade through innumerable books standing between rows and long rows of cabinets. The books that have history, the books that have science, that have mystery and those longings lovers may have celebrated and that rocket technology that may have taken man to the moon or mars.

How could anybody think of selling books in kilograms! Textbooks, novels, porn, history, science cannot be weighed on the same scale. There would be a day when a painting could be sold in kilogram, when a pashmina would be sold by weight!!

Aha..
