This is a delightful sequel to The Diary of a Bookseller (bwl 95), something to make you chuckle and enter into the world of the somewhat eccentric and at moments curmudgeonly owner of Scotland's largest second-hand bookshop. He doesn't like customers who bargain and wishes they'd put things back in the right place, his loyal and faithful assistants are never quite good enough. Yet despite, or perhaps because of his droll and pithy grumbles, he comes across as an absolute treasure. Read it and laugh!
