Seven Kinds of People You Find In Bokshops

by Shaun Bythell

Snappy Review

Good for a giggle, and then I couldn’t decide if I was reading as a bookseller or a customer 😉

Book Synopsis

Shaun Bythell, Scotland’s grumpiest bookseller, is back, with seven witty and affectionate portraits of bookshop regulars

Everyone knows who you find in bookshops: people who want to buy books. But, as Shaun Bythell, author of the bestselling Diary of a Bookseller and Confessions of a Bookseller, reveals, that’s really only half the story.

Join Shaun as he introduces us to seven bookshop characters, from the Person Who Doesn’t Know What They Want (But Thinks It Might Have a Blue Cover) to the harried Parents Secretly After Free Childcare and all the way over to the erotica section, where we’ll meet The Person Who Is Up to No Good.

Affectionate, sardonic and laugh-out-loud funny, Seven Kinds of People You Find in Bookshops is your indispensable guide to the flora and fauna of your local bookshop.
