Beschreibung
A SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
'Irreverently funny ... kept me giggling all week.' Scotland on Sunday
"Do you have a list of your books, or do I just have to stare at them?"
Shaun Bythell is the owner of The Bookshop in Wigtown, Scotland. With more than a mile of shelving, real log fires in the shop and the sea lapping nearby, the shop should be an idyll for bookworms.
Unfortunately, Shaun also has to contend with bizarre requests from people who don't understand what a shop is, home invasions during the Wigtown Book Festival and Granny, his neurotic Italian assistant who likes digging for river mud to make poultices.
Rezensionen
The second volume of memoirs by the Wigtown bookseller Shaun Bythell is as absorbing as the first
All the ingredients for a gentle human comedy are here, as soothing as a bag of boiled sweets and just as tempting to dip into.
Written with caustic wit...a diverting and congenial read.
The best parts are irreverently funny and only borderline legal ... he is certainly not self-serving in terms of writing about what he sees as his own failures and weaknesses ... has kept me giggling all week.
<p>Bythell has a good ear for the absurd and a mundane telemarketing call becomes comedy gold ... For all Bythell'
