Confessions of a Bookseller

Shaun Bythell is the owner of The Bookshop in Wigtown, Scotland. With more than a mile of shelving, real log fires in the shop and the sea lapping nearby, the shop should be an idyll for bookworms.Unfortunately, Shaun also has to contend with bizarre requests from people who don't understand what a shop is, home invasions during the Wigtown Book Festival and Granny, his neurotic Italian assistant who likes digging for river mud to make poultices.Shaun Bythell runs The Bookshop in Wigtown, Scotland's National Book Town. He has written two books, The Diary of a Bookseller and Confessions of a Bookseller. His third book, Seven Kinds of People you Find in Bookshops will be released on 5th November 2020 (remember, remember).
