Bag

“I Would Prefer Not To,” black, all-cotton book bag—sports the phrase that made Bartleby the Scrivener famous on the front, and the Melville House logo on the back.

A random list of things you can carry in the new, improved bag:

  • A good chunk of the Art of the Novella Series
  • A baby
  • A French bulldog
  • Two cats (small) or eight to ten kittens
  • A bevy of pencils sharpened by David Rees
  • Probably about 20 Criterion DVD’s (untested)
  • Diapers
  • A waffle iron
  • 33 lbs of wheat grain
  • Nine carpentry hammers and less than fifty nails
  • Sixteen flutes (standing vertically)
  • A lot of thimbles
  • Differing amounts of rocks, depending on size
  • Seven squirrels
  • Maybe eight, but it’s dangerous
