Remainders Of The Day

The Bookshop in Wigtown is a bookworm's idyll - with thousands of books across nearly a mile of shelves; a real log fire; and Captain; the bookshop cat. You'd think after twenty years; owner Shaun Bythell would be used to the customers by now. Don't get him wrong - there are some good ones among the antiquarian erotica-hunters; die-hard Arthurians; people who confuse bookshops for libraries and the toddlers just looking for a nice cosy corner in which to wee. He's sure there are. There must be some good ones; right? Filled with the pernickety warmth and humour that has touched readers around the world; stuffed with literary treasures; hidden gems and incunabula; Remainders of the Day is Shaun Bythell's latest entry in his bestselling diary series.
