An enjoyable romp by the author of The Diary of a Bookseller on the customers who irritate him most grouped into seven categories: The Expert, Young Family, Occultist, Loiterer, Bearded Pensioner, Not-so-Silent Traveller and the Historian. As you read it you wonder if you will recognise yourself or if not someone you know. You might think this a risky undertaking for someone wanting to sell his stock but his self-deprecating humour will disarm anyone who might have been offended.
