Description[]

172 Broadway was the location of a book store/library that was part of a strip mall shopping center in the then near-future reality of 1991. The manager of the store had a female organgutan work for her as an assistant. A chipmanzee courier named Lisa often delivered books and returned borrowed books to the store on behalf of her her owner.

Although the organgutan was a seemingly competent assistant she, like most apes, was illiterate and did not always perform to the librarian's expectations. She admonished the assistant's inaccurate book retrieval skills by intoning the ubiquitous command of displeasure, "No!"
