A man enters the bookshop where Jill is filling in for the owner. The man is jittery and wants a quick sale of a Jack London first edition.

Jill buys the book and resells it for a nice profit but the jittery man comes back and wants his book back. When she tells him she resold it, he returns with a man who tries to intimidate her.

The remainder of the story shows Jill trying to find the man who bought the book and dealing with a number of unscrupulous and amusing characters.

Jill lives life to the fullest and always has a clever quip for whatever situation she finds herself in.

A lighthearted novel that is fun to read.
