Patron: Why does this book have a plastic cover?
Martin: That’s to protect it from dirt, and wear and tear.

Patron: So you love this book so much that you want to protect it?
Martin: Personally? No.

Patron: This deserves a plastic cover, too.
Martin: The plastic cover is not a statement about literary quality, it’s a judgement of an item’s physical fragility.

Patron: Well it’s so good you need to make sure it lasts forever.
Martin: If you believe that, please handle it with more respect.
