Bythell’s sardonic humor and undeniable wit and charm will “bookworm” its way into your heart and mind. Two things are bound to happen:

1. You’ll add The Bookshop in Wigtown to your bucket list of Scottish destinations hoping to catch a glimpse of EITHER the author OR the spraying stray cat, or to hear one of Nicky’s verbal gems.

2. You TOO will revile A**zon and its universal chokehold on indie bookstores.

I love this book!

–Kathy, The Well-Read Moose, Coeur d’Alene, ID

Support independent bookstores (and independent bookseller authors) by getting your copy at The Well-Read Moose or another indie. Then pour yourself a cup of tea and settle in for a treat.

“Among the most irascible and amusing bookseller memoirs I’ve read.”

–Dwight Garner, New York Times

“Warm, witty and laugh-out-loud funny…”
