Book of the Week. What are the Seven Kinds of People You Find in Bookshops, and, more importantly, which kind are you? Shaun Bythell, who brought us the cuttingly accurate Diary of a Bookseller and Confessions of a Bookseller, has devised this hilarious handbook to the types of people booksellers encounter every day. He has some words about booksellers too...
>>"Pantomime misanthropy tempered with bursts of sweetness."
>>Bythell attempts to justify the book
>>Live (eventually) at the Wigtown Book festival
>>The perils of being a bookseller. 
>>The bookshops of Wigtown
>>
Diary of a Bookseller
>>Confessions of a Bookseller
>>How to fix a Kindle
>>And a Kindle Fire
>>A shop with books in
>>As it happens
>>Your copy of Seven Kinds
>>To Shaun with love (more bookselling truths (>>and there's a book of these, too!))
