A review by alanaheade
The Diary of a Bookseller by Shaun Bythell

3.0

This was very enjoyable, it was very nice to read about terrible customers instead of experiencing them for once. This part I found particularly relatable:

"When I asked her for the money, the customer - an elderly, well spoken woman - spat '£16.50? That's daylight robbery, I am not paying that for an old book.' I followed her to the door and watched as she got into her brand-new Range Rover and drove off."

Funny how bookshop customers in Scotland are very similar to chocolate shop customers in Melbourne.
