A SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER 'Irreverently funny ... kept me giggling all week.' Scotland on Sunday Do you have a list of your books; or do I just have to stare at them? 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.
