The Art & Tradition of the Hardcover

If he had any 3 wishes in the whole world what would he do?
Lord. Jesus. Jesus H. Christ. The world was in the palm of his hand. The cost? His integrity. All of the goals upon which he had built his life and personality.
But hard times are hard times. Self-preservation instincts strongly urged against this type of situation. He wanted so dearly to ignore them. But they'd brought him this far...
Something inside him told him to turn to God on this particular issue. He'd long ago stopped asking favors from the Big Guy in the Sky, but what the hell...
Lives rested on his decision. A whole lot more than just a few lives, too. Money. Family. Respect. Honor? What would his father do? He'd learned a lot watching Dad's mistakes and always noting where, how & why; why he seemed destined to fail at most things he'd delved into.
His only really success to date? A massive, immaculate library of books. Rare special edition copies. Bestselling novels. All hard-covered. He didn't much care for paperbacks.
