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.
