Rip-off

[marval]

What a rip-off. I went into our local bookstore and saw this huge display with a sign saying "Newly translated from the original French:
37 mating positions."

Noticing that the books were already wrapped in
plain brown paper, I just had to buy one.

Once safely at home I opened it, out of sight of my husband, and found
that I had just purchased an expensive book about Chess.

The penny didn't drop for a minute there. I get it now.

Glad you got it.
