I'm a Winnie the Pooh snob.

I'm a Winnie the Pooh snob. I got it from my mother, who loved Winnie the Pooh with all her heart and very much disapproved of the Disney version(s).

Got a call from a lady asking if we had Winnie the Pooh. 

"Why, yes, we do," I say proudly.  "We have all four of the original volumes in their original format with their original illustrations."

"I'll be right in."

She shows up and I show her the books, which are hardcover at $14.99.

"Um, this isn't what I expected."

"Well, this is the real thing. Not the Disney spinoffs."

"I'll look around," she says, and leaves. 

"Oh, bother," I mutter to myself.
