Today, Wigtown, located in a remote corner of Scotland, is a destination for book lovers from all over the world. This is due to the fact that in 1998 Wigtown was declared Scotland's book town of national importance, and in 1999 the Wigtown Book Festival began. The witty diary of Sean Bythell, owner of Scotland's largest second-hand bookstore and active participant in the festival, describes the everyday life and joys of bookselling. The ironic and irreverent narrative of a passionate salesman will appeal to fans of the authority- and moral-defying series Black's Bookshop starring Dylan Moran, one of the best comedy series ever shown on television, as well as to all book lovers and bookstore regulars. stores.
