The Diary of a Bookseller opens the story, covering a year in the shop from February 2014, as Bythell navigates staff, stock, auctions and an ever-revolving cast of customers with sharp, self-deprecating humour. Seven Kinds of People You Find in Bookshops takes a different approach, offering a witty taxonomy of the browsers, bores, bargain-hunters and book-obsessives who pass through his doors, distilling twenty years behind the counter into a quirky field guide to the book-loving public. Remainders of the Day continues the diary format, following another year at The Bookshop with fresh anecdotes about buying private libraries, fulfilling Random Book Club orders and coping with the demands of running an independent bookshop in Scotland's National Book Town. Across all three titles, Bythell's voice is candid, occasionally curmudgeonly and always entertaining, offering a genuine, warts-and-all insight into the secondhand book trade. Fans of bookshop memoirs and dry British humour will find plenty to enjoy, whether dipping in for a laugh or reading cover to cover.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThree books in one set:\u003c\/strong\u003e a ready-made bookseller memoir collection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuthentic bookseller voice:\u003c\/strong\u003e real anecdotes from Shaun Bythell's years at The Bookshop, Wigtown.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWitty and quotable:\u003c\/strong\u003e perfect for fans of dry, observational humour.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGreat gift set:\u003c\/strong\u003e ideal for booklovers and independent bookshop supporters.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMixed format set:\u003c\/strong\u003e two hardbacks plus one paperback, brand new.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nShaun Bythell owns The Bookshop in Wigtown, Scotland's National Book Town and the country's largest second-hand bookshop, home to some 100,000 books across nearly a mile of shelving.
