Notă biografică
Shaun Bythell has run The Bookshop in Wigtown since 1 November 2001. His internationally bestselling books The Diary of a Bookseller, Confessions of a Bookseller and Seven Kinds of People You Find in Bookshops have been translated into over thirty languages. His passion for bookselling is matched only by his sense of despair for its future.
Recenzii
Effortlessly charming ... it is soothing to sink once again into the rhythms of Bythell's year
Wry and witty
Full of warmth and self-deprecating humour, poking fun and himself and his friends, as much as the unsuspecting souls who wander into his shop
Bythell likes to present himself as a grumpy old sod but he's actually a witty, erudite, and passionate bibliophile. I look forward to each new volume, knowing how much they make me laugh
Bythell returns with another rollicking account of running The Bookshop in Wigtown, Scotland ... equal parts preposterous and profound, sure to prove irresistible to fellow bibliophiles
PRAISE FOR DIARY OF A BOOKSELLER
All the ingredients for a gentle human comedy are here, as soothing as a bag of boiled sweets and just as tempting to dip into
Written with caustic wit ... a diverting and congenial read
PRAISE FOR CONFESSIONS OF A BOOKSELLER
Wonderfully entertaining.
Warm, witty and laugh-out-loud funny, this gently meandering tale of British eccentricity will stay long in the memory.
PRAISE FOR SEVEN KINDS OF PEOPLE YOU FIND IN BOOKSHOPS
Crisp and often funny - and Bythell is canny enough to temper his pantomime misanthropy with bursts of sweetness
Bythell is having fun and it's infectious ... actually amusing
Any reader finding this book in their stocking on Christmas morning should feel lucky ... contains plenty to amuse - an excellent diversion
The second volume of memoirs by the Wigtown bookseller Shaun Bythell is as absorbing as the first
The best parts are irreverently funny and only borderline legal ... he is certainly not self-serving in terms of writing about what he sees as his own failures and weaknesses ... has kept me giggling all week
Funny and fascinating in equal measure - a must for all those of us who haunt the sepulchres where old books are laid to rest.
The Diary Of A Bookseller is warm (unlike Bythell's freezing-cold shop) and funny, and deserves to become one of those bestsellers that irritate him so much.
Peopled with fascinating characters ... a sarcastic reminder of the struggles of small business ownership, the importance of community and the frustration of dealing with customers ... occasionally laugh-out-loud funny.
Tempted to follow your dream and open a second-hand bookshop? Don't do anything before you read Shaun Bythell ... second-hand bookshops are alive because of people like him.
Utterly compelling and Bythell has a Bennett-like eye for the amusing eccentricities of ordinary people ... I urge you to buy this book and please, even at the risk of being insulted or moaned at, buy it from a real live bookseller.
I tore through the pages, but I was also rather sad when it finished - I could have read much, much more. Any bibliophiles should race to get a copy.
A book and bookshop lover's delight.
Laconic, droll, opinionated and unconvincingly misanthropic ... Wigtown's Pepys.
