What the other half looks up

This lad just came up to me in the library. Twenty-one, maybe twenty-two, medical student. Asked me if we had an A-Z. I wasn't sure, so I went over and had a flick through the maps and atlases we have, without any success. So, thinking that I could maybe refer him to Multimap or something, I asked, "Are you looking for anything in particular?"

"Oh no," he replied. "My friend and I were just looking for property".
