The triumphs here are small but hard won: a tea crisis averted, a book title correctly identified from a cryptic clutch of clues. Not to mention the emotional rollercoaster of being named the Seventh-Best Bookshop in the Country by The Times on a day where takings came to around £16.98. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCustomers appear for a browse and a chat, in search of a recommendation or the perfect gift. Others enter the shop for more unexpected reasons ¿ to borrow a screwdriver, locate a priest or simply to ask if there's 'a nice place for an omelette around here'. Each day brings its own joys and frustrations, though not always in equal measure . . . \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFunny, surprising and affectionate, here is a bookseller's year in all its weirdness and wonder - a life-affirming celebration of bad weather, good books and the irreplaceable role of a local bookshop.","brand":"Buchserien.de","offers":[{"title":"Neuware","offer_id":54023929397586,"sku":"9781399629546","price":20.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0615\/7002\/3593\/files\/unnamed_c86a1a77-d85e-4ced-b584-eb47b7d8c8a5.jpg?v=1784301837","url":"https:\/\/www.buchserien.de\/products\/receipts-from-the-bookshop","provider":"Buchserien.de","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
