«Cosas raras que se oyen en las librerías» is the humour book by Jen Campbell, published by Malpaso Ediciones in hardback (148 pages, in Spanish).
It collects real dialogues between customers and booksellers: impossible requests, invented titles and mix-ups with authors. Some people look for books only by the colour of the cover, some ask if a novel can be sent by fax, and some want a copy that predicts the weather. The result is a knowing look at the everyday absurdity of bookshops.
It is the first volume in the series Weird Things Customers Say in Bookshops. The translation is by Bernardo Domínguez Reyes and the original was published in 2012; the Spanish edition dates from 2015.
For readers with a sense of humour and curiosity about bookshops; booksellers will recognise many of these scenes.
