'My children are just climbing your bookshelves: that's ok... isn't it?'
A John Cleese Twitter question ['What is your pet peeve?'], first sparked the "Weird Things Customers Say in Bookshops" blog, which grew over three years into one bookseller's collection of ridiculous conversations on the shop floor. From 'Did Beatrix Potter ever write a book about dinosaurs?' to the hunt for a paperback which could forecast the next year's weather; and from 'I've forgotten my glasses, please read me the first chapter' to 'Excuse me... is this book edible?'
This full-length collection illustrated by the Brothers McLeod also includes top 'Weird Things' from bookshops around the world.

I don't think people will believe that all the entries in this book are taken from real life unless they've worked in a bookshop for a while. As a bookseller, I can swear they are. I've actually had quite some of these conversations live, with real customers - only in German, mostly. I'd almost recommend this as a trainee guide because for the few first times you get this weird moments, you are just stunned speechless, and the booksellers in here have brilliant answers now and again. :-D
