Rezensionen

Wonderfully entertaining.

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.

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.

Warm, witty and laugh-out-loud funny, this gently meandering tale of British eccentricity will stay long in the memory.

A book and bookshop lover's delight.

Funny and fascinating in equal measure - a must for all those of us who haunt the sepulchres where old books are laid to rest.

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.

Laconic, droll, opinionated and unconvincingly misanthropic ... Wigtown's Pepys.

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.
