Remainders of the Day. More Diaries from The Bookshop, Wigtown Profile Books

After twenty years running The Bookshop in Wigtown, Scotland, Shaun Bythell's life has settled into a mostly comfortable routine; days spent roaming between the shelves, poetry nights by the fire, frequent drop-ins from friends with gossip. But while customers come and go - whether or not they've paid - there's never a quiet moment in The Bookshop. Apart from the usual stream of die-hard trainspotters, antiquarian porn collectors and toddlers looking for somewhere cosy to urinate, Shaun still must contend with his employees' increasingly eccentric habits, the mayhem of the Wigtown Book Festival and the shock of the town's pub changing hands. Warm and witty, with Shaun's iconic mix of deadpan humour and grouchy charm, Remainders of the Day is the latest in his bestselling diary series.
