Lucky Jim in the Bookshop

Lucky Jim by Kingsley Amis

"No hard-and-fast rule can be devised that lays down when a two-word phrase is to be hyphenated and when the two words are to be run into one, though there will be a rough consensus that, for example, book-plate and bookseller are each properly set out and that bookplate and book-seller might seem respectively new-fangled and fussy." - Kingsley Amis
