«Le libraire de Wigtown» is the memoir by Shaun Bythell, published by J'AI LU in paperback (448 pages, in French).
Shaun Bythell runs the largest secondhand bookstore in Wigtown, in southwest Scotland. With British humor, he recounts his daily life among eccentric customers and peculiar employees, selling everything from sixteenth-century Bibles to Harry Potter volumes, and reveals a trade far removed from the idyllic image usually associated with bookstores.
Work originally published as «The Diary of a Bookseller»; first volume in Shaun Bythell's series of the same name. Translation: Séverine Weiss.
For lovers of books and bookstores who want to see the trade without idealization, with humor and a dose of Scottish reality.
