    Ex: It has never yet been seriously argued that there should be restrictions placed on any retail outlets wishing to sell books.

    Ex: In strong contrast to, say, television sets and instant coffee, where the consumer may save by shopping around, there is no advantage to be gained by going to one shop rather than another for a book so far as price is concerned.
    Ex: The cheapest of these machines costs under $100 and they can be bought in stores, supermarkets and by mail-order.
    Ex: The customers preferred to go in by a glazed door set in the shop-front and giving onto the street, even though this meant going down some steps, the floor of the workshop being below road-level.
    Ex: We need to act on this conviction (it means a shift in political and social consciousness that may be painful to many) if the library is to be a source of energy and not a drugstore.
