really liked it
bookshelves: memoir

A hilariously self-deprecating memoir of how the author became an apprentice bookseller at the very old London rare bookshop, Sotheran's. If you've ever wondered what it's like to work in a bookshop - or even romanticized the idea in your head - this is a must-read since it will largely disabuse you of those notions while providing belly laughs!
