Ranma entered the bookstore an looked around. It was fairly large with shelves of books all over the place. But next to the door was a cashier counter. At it was a pleasant older woman of unknown old age. She looked like she could be someone kindly old grandmother. She turned to him and spoke. "Can I help you, sir? The Enchanted Nook has any book that you can think of? Perhaps I could suggest something?"
Ranma looked at the miles of books. Or miles to him. "I'm looking for a book for a girl. It's her birthday and I want to get her something special, but not too extreme." Ranma said, hoping that he could find a gift that would make Shampoo happy without pissing the others off.
"Well, I have a few ideas that might be fun. She walked out from behind the counter and beaconed him to follow. She showed him a selection of stands. "These holds both the Magazines and the Mangas. We get a good selection of Japanese and American Manga and Magazines." She pointed to a book shelf that took up a wall. "That holds all of the Genre fiction. Romance, Horror, Sci-fi and Fantasy." She then pointed bookcase that was opposite it. "That holds Genre RPG game books and sets. Horror, Sci-fi and of course the major fantasy element. Those might be fun for her and her friends. Would you like to see more or have you decided on one of these choices?"
Ranma thought about what to get Shampoo. One of these or something else. He didn't expect anything magical. Magical writings were in ancient books and scrolls. Not the nearly new books the story held. So it should be safe. But what should he buy?
