I loved the first book, Weird Things Customers Say in Bookshops, so of course I had to pick this one up too! There were a few repeats between this book and the first one, but I loved it none the less. There were some quotes that had me laughing out loud! This is a really quick read, so if you need a laugh, definitely pick this one up!
I loved it the first time around, and I remember laughing out loud and how short the plane ride was thanks to this book.
That was before I became a bookseller, obviously. Now everything in this book feels very plausible and sometimes triggers my PTSD - customers in bookshops truly go wild. I could have some interesting additions to this book myself.

Exactly as its title implies, humorous but it gets old about halfway through
A most interesting read. Definitely got a good laugh from some of the interactions.
Jen Campbell is back with another collection of truly bizarre things that people say in bookshops. And this time I am in it! Page 73 for those of you who care. You may also find my former colleague Chloe in there a couple of times. Just pop in and I'll happily sign it for you. I got mine for free so you should really make sure you buy yours.
It's quite amazing the things that people say without thinking, without knowing what they are saying, without realising just how rude they are or in the case of some of the children how cute they are.
Me being in the book aside this is a weaker collection of anecdotes with a larger percentage of them focussed on the witty comebacks from your put upon book seller rather than actual weird things that customers say in bookshops. Divided in to things said to the author, things said in bookshops (and libraries) around the world and things said to the author whilst signing copies of her previous collection this one could certainly have had subsections on "weird things people say about 50 Shades of Grey," "weird things people say who have ereaders" and "kids say the weirdest things."

I laughed out loud. Again. Multiple times. A nice little break after heavy literature.
These books are cute, fast and entertaining reads. I noticed a lot more hilariously adorable quotes and what not from kids in this one which really made it charming. Ms.Campbell seems to have saved the best for last!
