I quite enjoyed this book. It had been sitting on my tbr bookcase for a few years when I recently decided I needed to make space, by reading my way through it's loaded shelves. Being a secondhand bookseller myself, I discovered much, and giggled often. For me, it was so relatable that I jumped online and ordered book #2, before I had even finished.
This book has inspired me to overhaul my online only bookstore, and 'freshen-up' my approach to my own style of bookdeslership.

A welcome insight into book selling. Written well; Bythell captures the characters around him with a sense of grace and comedy.

Lightly entertaining throughout though not particularly compelling. I wish they hadn't included the epilogue.

It was a good read, even tho it didn't fully meet my expectations. Will read "Confessions of a Bookseller" anyways
