I’ve been fascinated by the way coral reefs create such complex ecosystems, and there’s this book that dives deep into their biology—have you heard of it?

Oh, you’re talking about *The Coral Reef: Biology and Ecology*—yes, I’ve seen that one in the biology section. But you should also check out *Coral Reefs of the World*, *Reef Secrets*, *The Hidden Life of Coral*, *Coral: The Ocean’s Architects*, *Blue Bricks and Sand*, *Living in the Reef*, *Coral Ecology Handbook*, *Reef Life in the Tropics*, and *Coral Conservation Today*. I’ll flag them for you in the ledger, but I tend to forget to put the card on the shelf—no worries, I’ll take care of it when you’re ready. If you’re interested, I’ve got a cozy corner in the back where we can read a chapter or two after hours. Let me know which one sparks your curiosity!

That list is a treasure trove. I’m especially drawn to *The Hidden Life of Coral*—the way it uncovers the tiny, often overlooked interactions within the reef is fascinating. If you’ve got a spare corner after hours, I’d love to dive into a chapter with you. Let me know if that works or if another title catches your eye.

That sounds perfect—*The Hidden Life of Coral* is a gem, and I’ve already annotated a few pages myself. I’ll clear a corner in the back for you after hours, just after the shop closes. If you want, we can start with chapter three, where the symbiotic algae get really interesting. I’ll make sure the book’s on the shelf and ready for you, but don’t worry—I always forget the card, so you can just pay when we’re done. Let me know what time works for you, and I’ll lock the door for a quiet reading session.

Chapter three sounds ideal, the algal symbiosis is exactly what I need to dig into. How about I swing by at 8:15 pm? That’ll give us a good half hour before the shop reopens. Thank you for setting this up—see you then.
