A cantankerously humorous view of books and the individuals who love them. It does take every kind and thru the misanthropic eyes of a really grumpy bookseller, we see all of them—from the “Particular person Who Would not Know What They Need (However Thinks It May Have a Blue Cowl)” to the “Dad and mom Secretly After Free Childcare.”

From behind the counter, Shaun Bythell catalogs the purchasers who roam his store in Wigtown, Scotland. There’s the Skilled (divided into subspecies from the Bore to the Useful Particular person), the Younger Household (starting from the Exhausted to the Aspirational), Occultists (from Conspiracy Theorist to Craft Lady).

Then there’s the Loiterer (together with the Erotica Browser and the Self-Revealed Creator), the Bearded Pensioner (together with the Lyrca Clad), and the The Not-So-Silent Traveller (the Whistler, Sniffer, Hummer, Farter, and Tutter). Two bonus sections embody Workers and, lastly, Good Buyer—all add as much as one of many funniest e-book about books you’ll ever discover.

Shaun Bythell (writer of Confessions of a Bookseller) and his mordantly distinctive observational eye make this excellent for anybody who loves books and bookshops.
