I thought this was a novel when I requested it from the library. Turns out it's a memoir in the form of a diary of one year in a second-hand bookseller's life (2015). It was interesting to see what that life –one that has often tempted me – is like, how they were dealing with the monster that is Amazon and the havoc it has wrought on in-person bookstores – and his dealings with customers and employees and the daily life of a small town in Scotland. But, it did not engross me and was not what I had expected and had I thumbed through it before putting it on hold I probably should have skipped it but all of that said if you know what you're expecting and enjoy diary-type memoirs and booksellers, pick it up!
