Reviews

The second volume of memoirs by the Wigtown bookseller Shaun Bythell is as absorbing as the first
*London Review of Books*

Bythell has a good ear for the absurd and a mundane telemarketing call becomes comedy gold ... For all Bythell's self-flagellation, he comes across as a generous, largely genial figure. It is hard to go for more than a few pages without finding him cooking for staying guests or drinking with friends
until the small hours.
*Times*

The best parts are irreverently funny and only borderline legal ... he is certainly not self-serving in terms of writing about what he sees as his own failures and weaknesses ... has kept me giggling all week.
*Scotland on Sunday*

All the ingredients for a gentle human comedy are here, as soothing as a bag of boiled sweets and just as tempting to dip into.
*Literary Review*

Written with caustic wit...a diverting and congenial read.
*Bookmunch*
