MBS

Had an interesting experience today in a bookshop.
Was looking through the various sections in a Waterstone's - which seems to be the only kind of bookshop left, but more on that later - and came to History, then to Religion, then to MBS - MBS? What was that? It was a temporary paper sign. MBS? I looked at the books in MBS and they were stuff like astrology and New Age stuff and Paul McKenna and all that. It was quite a large section, 2 shelves wide. MBS? I racked my brains. What did MBS mean?
I asked an attendant, "What does MBS stand for?"
She said "Oh that's Mind, Body and Spirit"
I said "Are you sure it's not Miscellaneous Bull Shit?"
