The Bookshop in Wigtown is a bookworm’s paradise: Scotland’s largest second-hand bookshop, a beautiful rural setting, miles of shelving and a log fire. You’d think that, after 25 years at the helm, its owner, Shaun Bythell, would be used to the customers. Don’t get him wrong, there are some good ones among the porn-hunters, mystics, hagglers and drifters on day-release. But, it’s fair to say, all human life is here.
After a four year absence, the Sunday Times bestselling diarist returns with the latest journal, described by Alan Bennett as “gentle, funny and soothingˮ. He’ll be talking about the joy of shooting Kindles and eavesdropping on customers, and why the sitcom Black Books is actually a documentary.
