Enjoyable enough. A comfortable, almost cosy, read.

Warm (despite the perpetual Scottish chill) and comforting (despite the stress of all the Amazon bullshit). Makes me miss bookselling (almost).

Justice for Nicky's "Home Front Novels" section though; I would go nuts there. Someday I hope to!

A soothing story with predictable structure daily tallies of online books sold and  books found .. Little vignettes of daily life in the small town and it makes the move of bookstore owner seem both simple and full of complexities... Some of the stories are funny or cute, well of them are laced with the sardonic humor of this bookshop owner in a kind of simple funny and straightforward way

Have looked forward to snuggling down with this one, and I wasn't disappointed.
Love the format and the tone, Shaun's obvious passion for books and people hidden beneath the sarcasm.
