diary of a bookseller

 reading a pretty funny book right now: "diary of a bookseller" by shaun bytyell.

his tales of running a bookshop in the small village of wigtown, scotland are quite clever as he describes, with wry wit, the delightfully odd locals, unusual staff, eccentric customers, and surreal buying tips that make up his bookseller's life.

"among the most amusing and irascible bookseller memoirs i've read."--dwight garner, the new york times
