Books

A little visit to Topiaryville Library yielded mixed results.

Murder mysteries, magazines, and DVDs were in ample supply. As far as advice on selling houses, the single biggest investment of most middle-Americans: not much.

A brief sashay into Freakonomics did yield a useful essay on asymmetrical information usage by Realtors, and the tidbit that Realtors selling their OWN houses waited an average of 3 weeks longer and gained $10,000 in selling price over houses they sold for others.

Although there was a Dummies guide to Buying a House, there was nothing on Selling a House.

Nevertheless, Cow left contented, after placing some inter-library loan requests with the helpful Branch Manager.

Moo!

Sadly, libraries are stocked by librarians. Murder, cookery, arthritis, cats, kids and clogs & shawls yes. Business, commerce, money, science, sport and technology no.

Ah, but thanks to inter-library loan, some librarian, somewhere, must have had what you were looking for?
