Book Fair

That one thing that schools do where nobody actually gets books, and everyone just gets a UV pen or something like that because usually all the books they have are shit.

Person 2: Nice, I got a UV pen!

Boat Book

The colloquial name for that timeless classic, Concepts And Case Analysis in the Law of Contracts (Concepts and Insights), by Marvin A. Chirelstein.

Mathematic’s books

The best (mis)use of an apostrophe spotted outside a city bookstore in mainland China.
