Bag

New and improved! Now with a longer strap and enough depth to hold a six-pack.

“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 thing 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
  • Twenty-four Wiffle balls
  • Your old Nintendo with controllers, power cords and a few games
  • That other less literary bag you’ve had since junior high
  • Many, many bananas
  • Small to average sized watermelon (untested)
  • A bust of Bach
  • Two baker’s dozen donuts
  • One-hundred and fifty-three pirate patches
  • But only seventy-eight clown noses
  • Thirty-nine ice cream cones (single scoop)
  • Two napa cabbages
