CUSTOMER: I’ve been looking through your geography section – I can’t find any books on Atlantis.
BOOKSELLER: You know, I think we managed to lose those.

This book is ridiculously entertaining. Years ago, I picked it up from the shelf of a local bookshop, read parts of it, and remembered to be very funny. This time, I really read and finished the book.

While not all conversations split my sides, and some felt rather repetitive, Weird Things Customers Say in Bookshops still consists of a lot of hilarious incidents of incredulously arrogant people, obviously not booklovers, coming into bookshops demanding absurd things. Definitely a very nice book to get some laugh out of. [26 May 2018]
