The Diary of a Bookseller

SATURDAY, 19 APRIL

Online orders: 3

Katie was in again today, covering for Nicky, so I asked her to package the books for the Random Book Club (which now has 163 members) and deal with the Royal Mail account for them. When I went to the post office to ask Wilma if the postman could pick them up, she told me that he could do it on Tuesday (Easter Monday = Bank Holiday).

As the shop was about to close, there was a telephone call from Mrs Phillips (‘I am ninety-three and blind, you know’), who couldn’t remember the title of Mrs Gaskell’s first novel and wanted to know if I could tell her.
