Love, Nina Meets Black Books: A wry and funny account of life in Scotland's biggest second-hand bookshop and the group of eccentric, bookish freaks who work there
"A Bookseller's Memoirs is warm (in contrast to the freezing cold Bethel Shop) and funny, and deserves to become one of the bestsellers that annoys him so much." (Mail on Sunday)
"Utterly convincing, Bethel has a Bennett-like eye for the amusing oddities of ordinary people... I urge you to buy this book and please, even at the risk of being offended or groused, buy it from a real bookseller." (Charlotte Heathcote, Sunday Express)
Sean Bethell owns Wigtown Books - Scotland's largest second-hand bookstore. It houses 100,000 books, spread across a mile of shelves, with winding aisles and roaring log fires, all set in a beautiful country town by the sea. A bibliophile's paradise? Well, almost... In this wry and funny memoir, Sean offers an insider's look at the trials and tribulations of life in the book trade, from his tussles with eccentric customers to his rows with his staff, including the ski-suited, bin-sifting Nicky. He takes us on buying trips to old estates and auction houses, recommends books (both lost classics and new finds), introduces us to the joy of unexpected discovery, and evokes the rhythms and charm of small-town life, always with a keen and sympathetic eye.
