Buying a book

Well I was in a second hand book shop and I spotted one I thought might do but...... it was $12 which is a bit pricey. So, I ummed and ahhhed a bit trying to decide whether or not to buy it.

THen, I opened the book and .......it had J.Ewing written inside it. So I figured it was a sign and I bought it.

I've almost finished reading it and as far as signs go, it wasn't a very good one. It's a dumb book.
