The Diary of a Bookseller

WEDNESDAY, 8 OCTOBER

Online orders: 6

Books found: 4

Just before lunch a customer offered £10 for a book that we have priced at £80. I told him that if he asked politely he could have £10 off. He slammed the book down on the counter and walked out in ‘disgust’, at which point I decided that escapism from customers was the order of the day, and found a new book to read and hid in the office with Kidnapped – a fate I would quite happily have seen befall that last customer.
