"Oh, for *^@#&^'s sake..."

There is another book that looks like a harrd back if thin libram

"This looks better..." She reads the title.

The title is a bit faded , despite the book being chimerical it reads The Wonder and Magic of... blurry with under that a primer

Squint!

"Okay, that does look better, but it would have to"

She's almost sure that with the right embellishing residue she could restore the title

"Mm-hmm..." She peeks inside the book.

"I think it's a textbook."

"A chimerical textbook."

"That could be boring or awesome" She says

the notes in the book actually look intriguing

"Looks interesting..."

Kind of part philosophy, part occult, a touch of science

Art has his nose stuck in HIS book

"Hey, arthur, could we have you for a second?"

"Oh, no, I'm good." Clearly not listening.

"Fine... well, hope the two good books are worth it"

"Art, lookit. I think this one is about magic, too."

"Oh Art's not interrested... "

"I bet I could sell this for a profit" She takes the book and flips it about

"Gladiola!"

"It's for the furkin' library!

Gladiola smirks just a bit, wolf shaped tooth flashing

"Sorry, just.. look at him...an explosion could go off and he wouldnn't notice right now"

"True. We can show him at home."

"Yeah. But at this rate I may have to fireman CARRY him"

"He might notice that."

She tries guiding him gently instead

"I'm starting to see why Bluebell made him wear that thing" Nudge

He is easily herdable... he might walk off a cliff or into a tree

Between Thistle and Gwen, Arty shall be steered home.

And off they go. It was a fruitful book hunt, quality over quantity, except for The Naughty Troubadour's Trumpet and who knonws? Dee might like that one
