No, as long as he thinks you're a 'proper' book person, he likes you. That's his criteria. It is elitist, though, yeah, it's like you have to pass an exam to shop there I suppose. But I think that's okay in a way - I judge some shops not worthy of my custom, I certainly make them pass an exam I suppose. He only sells the finest stuff, though, no cheap paperback novels and whatnot.
but I think the poster incident - although strange - shows that he's a nice guy. He didn't want some other interested customers to lose out. I bought the one from 1947 about applying for a cinema license. Or Cinematograph Entertainment License, if you prefer.
