### Key Highlights from the Sketch:
- The sketch begins with a straightforward request for assistance in finding a book titled "The Twisted Spur" by E.M. Hagerty. However, the library's method of organization is based on color and size rather than the conventional categorization by author or genre.
- As the dialog progresses, the character becomes increasingly frustrated with the vague and whimsical responses about where to find books, including nonsensical distinctions between "big" and "little" books.
- The humor escalates as the attendant misinterprets the inquiries, leading to comedic misunderstandings that showcase the duo's excellent timing and delivery.
