Summary

This quote highlights the tendency for some bookshop assistants, particularly those with arts degrees, to pretend to have extensive knowledge about various subjects when in reality they may not know much at all. It suggests that instead of admitting their limited knowledge, they continue to project a false sense of expertise to maintain their image. This phenomenon is seen as amusing or frustrating, as it challenges the assumption that bookshop assistants are knowledgeable about the books they sell.
