Fun With Books

Be warned, this is crack.
Scieszka blushed a furious shade of red, nearly dropping the book in her hands to the ground. Nearly; it was still a book after all and books needed to be cared for and she was a librarian, it was her job to make sure they were handled correctly.
Correct handling is important to- OH GOD! Why did she have to open it to that page, and read that foot note? Why? She would never be able to look at Central's Library in the same way ever again. Quickly shifting the book so that it was under her arm the bespectacled woman headed to the front desk.
"Th- this is what you were looking for Colonel Mustang, sir?" she shoved the tome at him, face still a dark shade of pink, that only got darker when he nodded, and took it from her outstretched hands.
"Thank you Scieszka, that will be all," Roy turned to leave, stopping when he got nearly to the doors. "Unless you wouldn't mind, helping me test some of these?" he tapped the spine of the book with two gloved fingers.
Scieszka could have died right then and there, she was fairly certain her brain had at any rate, leaving her to gape after the Colonel as he smirked and continued on his way.
Help him?
Help him test out the arrays and theories found in that book?
He had to have been joking. That thought calmed her some... but another caused her already befuddled mind to over work it's self again.
Why would Central's Library have a book entitled 'The Alchemic Kama Sutra', and why would Roy Mustang want it?
END!
