Beschreibung

**From the Sunday Times Bestselling Author**

In twenty years behind the till in The Bookshop, Wigtown, Shaun Bythell has met pretty much every kind of customer there is - from the charming, erudite and deep-pocketed to the eccentric, flatulent and possibly larcenous.

In Seven Kinds of People You Find in Bookshops he distils the essence of his experience into a warm, witty and quirky taxonomy of the book-loving public. So, step inside to meet the crafty Antiquarian, the shy and retiring Erotica Browser and gormless yet strangely likeable shop assistant Student Hugo - along with much loved bookseller favourites like the passionate Sci-Fi Fan, the voracious Railway Collector and the ever-elusive Perfect Customer.

Funny, witty and relatable

This was a very pleasant and entertaining quick read! As someone who works at a book shop myself I found the observation of the author very interesting and can confirm with many of my own experiences. I think this book is a pleasure for everyone who has ever worked in a bookstore but not only for those people. As someone who frequents many different bookstores as a customer I found myself in several of the described types. There are a lot of references to (especially UK) authors and big names in the industry, which I have to be honest, didn’t all know. Sometimes the references went over my head but I guess that says more about my lack of knowledge than about the writing itself. All in all I def recommend to read this book to everyone who likes to spend time in bookstores.
