In these wry and hilarious diaries, Shaun provides an inside look at the trials and tribulations of life in the book trade, from struggles with eccentric customers to wrangles with his own staff, who include the ski-suit-wearing, bin-foraging Nicky. He takes us with him on buying trips to old estates and auction houses, recommends books (both lost classics and new discoveries), introduces us to the thrill of the unexpected find, and evokes the rhythms and charms of small-town life, always with a sharp and sympathetic eye.
Дневник Книготорговца (Шон Байтел)
Шон Байтелл владеет Книжным магазином в Уигтауне - крупнейшим в Шотландии магазином подержанных книг. Он содержит 100 000 книг, расставленных на стеллажах длиной в милю, с извилистыми коридорами и ревущими каминами, и все это в красивом сельском городке на берегу моря. Рай для книголюбов? Ну, почти...
В этих ироничных и веселых дневниках Шон рассказывает о жизненных испытаниях в книжной сфере изнутри: от борьбы с эксцентричными покупателями до ссор с собственным персоналом, в том числе с одетой в лыжный костюм Ники, собирающим мусор. Он берет нас с собой в поездки за покупками в старинные поместья и аукционные дома, рекомендует книги (как утраченную классику, так и новые открытия), знакомит с ощущениями от неожиданных находок и рассказывает о ритмах и очаровании жизни маленького городка, всегда внимательно и сочувственно.
