The Diary of a Bookseller by Shaun BythellMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
This was, at times, very funny and insightful. I've always tried to avoid Amazon but this book makes you realise just how damaging the rise of Amazon has been to the independent bookshop industry.
However, I think Bythell's acerbic observations of his customers can sometimes border on the downright mean. Plus, not sure he needed include every diary entry for the whole year as entries were repetitive etc.
