Perfect comfort reading if you love books and bookstores. You get to know Shaun and his quirky employees and even some of the regular customers. I’ve been planning a trip to Scotland for a couple of years now, and while it obviously isn’t going to happen anytime soon, now it must include a visit to Wigtown.
He is, of course, not a fan of Amazon. I have to wonder if he has changed his mind at all now that he is making money from the sale of this book- it amused me to be reading it on my Kindle. I am not Amazon’s biggest fan, and I become more concerned about their business practices every day, but I love my kindle. Contradictory but true.

Lovely, light-hearted book. 'The Diary of a Bookseller" is a very casual read and might be a good one to get you out of a reading slump. However, if you're more into books with a clear storyline and characters you can relate to, this might not be your cup of tea. I, especially for the first hundred or so pages, had some difficulty with remembering where I had left off for exactly that reason. Overall, enjoyable and quite funny!

A charming, easy to read, interesting, exciting, hilarious book about running a bookshop and all it entails. I laughed out loud on a few occasions and now I want to trawl all the second hand bookshops in the UK for hidden treasures. Captivating.
