The Diary of a Bookseller by Shaun Bythell

informative lighthearted reflective slow-paced
My partner and I were going on a trip to Scotland and as per my request, we spent a day in Wigtown. I bought this book for the trip to really feel the community. I have to say, reading this in conjunction with my visit was a great choice. While reading, I could easily picture and recall the store and areas Shaun describes in this diary. I did find it slow and repetitive, but I enjoyed Shaun's bluntness and insights. I purchased the other two while I was there and will likely pick up any further ones he publishes.
