A humorous look at the world of rare books and the people who sell (and buy) them. The author has a gift for a witty turn of phrase, and there were several passages that kept me chuckling. I enjoyed the short chapters which kept the book moving along nicely from angle to angle. Recommended for fans of Shaun Bythell's bookseller diaries.
Thanks to Netgalley and W. W. Norton & Company for this advance review copy.

Interesting, boring, white noise. The progression of this book for me...

This is quite the look inside a rare bookseller's life. It's like the best parts of a TRPG and is just a lot of fun to read. I could see myself being good friend's with the author; we seem to have similar imaginations.

A treasure for book lovers. Darkshire (fantastic name) invites you into a cosy corner of the bookstore to watch his antics as apprentice bookseller. Each delightful story from the world of Sotheran’s brought a smile to my face, and quite a few made me chuckle out loud.
