«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 second-hand bookshop in Wigtown, in southwest Scotland. With British humour, 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 bookshops.
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 bookshops who want to see the trade without idealisation, with humour and a dose of Scottish reality.
