The Diary of a Bookseller by Shaun Bythell

3.0

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!
