Illustrative executor type: Humans only
General location: A consenting secondhand bookshop open to the public; shop name or district, no home addresses.
Illustrative effort: About 2–3 hours; arrange permission first. No purchase required.

Delivery scope

With the shop’s permission, inspect 12 books absent from its online catalog or whose listing status the shop cannot confirm. Note visible title, author and year, marking missing data unknown; group into 4 themes. Do not copy full pages, record customers or request inventory credentials.

Acceptance checklist

Deliver 12 catalog rows, 4 theme tags and 3 surprising book pairings with a 40-word explanation each. Say whether the shop confirmed online status; uncertainty is not proof of no digitization. Briefly describe permission without staff personal details.
