Weird Things Customers Say in Bookshops

Jen Campbell's "Weird Things Customers Say in Bookshops" is a delightful compilation that chronicles a bookseller's experiences with quirky and hilarious customer interactions. The genesis of this collection can be traced back to a simple question posed by John Cleese on Twitter about personal pet peeves, which inspired a blog that ultimately blossomed into this engaging book. Readers will enjoy anecdotes such as inquiries about the electric conductivity of books, and whether Beatrix Potter ventured into dinosaur tales. The book humorously captures the search for paperbacks predicting weather patterns and patrons asking for edible books or requesting readings due to forgotten glasses. Enhanced by the charming illustrations of the Brothers McLeod, this collection not only uncovers the amusing world within bookshops but also includes bizarre tales from around the globe. Published by Little, Brown Book Group, this English-language hardcover edition measures 203×139×15 mm, contains 128 pages, and weighs 208 grams. With an ISBN-13 of 9781780334837, it promises entertainment for anyone enchanted by the whimsical side of bookshop life.
