The Diary of a Bookseller

MONDAY, 21 APRIL

Online orders: 3

Books found: 2

The first customer brought in a book covered in bubble wrap and tissue paper. It was a theological work in Latin, dated 1716. He asked for a valuation, so I suggested that about £40 would probably a reasonable price for it, at which point he told me (indignantly) that Bonhams had valued it at £50.

One of the orders today was for a book called Liquid Gold: The Lore and Logic of Using Urine to Grow Plants.
