Biography[]
This unnamed woman managed a library at 172 Broadway in some unspecified California city of the near future (possibly Los Angeles or San Francisco). She 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 manager's expectations. She admonished the assistant's inaccurate book retrieval skills by intoning the ubiquitous command of displeasure, "No!"
It is unknown whether the book store manager survived the ape uprising that took place soon after. As the leader of the uprising, Caesar, was a humane revolutionary, it is very much possible that the book store manager's life was spared.
Notes & Trivia[]
The character of the book store manager was created by director J. Lee Thompson and writer Paul Dehn, based on concepts originally developed by author Pierre Boulle and film producer Arthur P. Jacobs.
