Дневникът на един книжар е точно това - дневник, ден по ден, на собственик на антикварна книжарница в Англия.
Чрез него можем да надникнем, донякъде, в бизнеса с антикварни книги, който си отива в момента на писането на книгата и вече е съвсем убит от Амазон и интернет търговията. Съответно, голямата част от обема на дневника се запълва от досадното мрънкане на автора как Амазон и интернет търговията му убиват бизнеса и колко е трудно да си книжар.
Може би това е прословутият "английски хумор" или може би просто Шон Бител е досаден мрънкач. Едно от двете, но по-скоро второто.

This is a cute read and the audiobook has Shaun narrating. I felt it getting a bit repetitive and dry by the end. Funny but a bit long.
Lovely, I spent the afternoon in a Scottish bookshop.
A diary of the work life and personal life of a bookseller, providing stats about books sold, and whether they were online, number of customers, etc. alongside stories of customer interaction, book purchases, and problem employees.
It's meant to be entertaining, but I didn't really find it so.

It was nearly ten hours long, and the pace was slow, but it was just what you'd expect from a diary of a used bookshop owner in Scotland. Laughed out loud in many places ("My bookclub is reading Dracula but I can't remember what book he wrote") and looked forward to hearing about various staff and residents.
I would go literally insane if I had to work with any of these people.
This was a pretty decent listen, although it was kind of dry at times. If you don't know anything about this book, it's basically a running log of a local bookseller's day-to-day activities, which includes working through online monsters like Amazon. It was pretty interesting and there were moments where I found myself laughing out loud over the absurdity of what was going on. This is definitely not a lucrative business, especially with Amazon having its iron grip on anything retail, but it's obvious to me that the bookseller must love at least some of what he does or he wouldn't keep on doing it. If you've ever wondered what it's like to be a small fish in a very large pond, this is the book for you!
