Among the high mountains and the purest lakes, pastoral meadows with grazing sheep, knight's castles and protected heather fields, in the expanses of the country sung by Robert Burns and Walter Scott there is a small town with a rural biography. This town is home to the largest bookstore in Scotland, owned by a man with a difficult character. He deals mainly in old books, both the most common and rare and antiquarian, and likes to call himself a misanthrope, because buyers, to be honest, often behave capriciously and defiantly. The Luddite of our time, Sean Bytell revealingly shoots Kindle, and has long and openly spoken out against the dominance of online technologies (and in brackets - everything impersonal and stamped). But a misanthrope? Not a single misanthrope could feel psychology, humor, nature, beauty so subtly, have as many friends as Sean Bythell, actively participate in the cultural life of the city - the Wigtown Book Festival and other important events - and be, in contrast to all the jokes about the stinginess of the Scots , generous and generous. In his ironic, witty, sometimes deliberately straightforward, but certainly talented narrative, everyone will find something for themselves - someone will be interested in the everyday life of a bookstore, someone will hear the call to visit Scotland, someone will want to read this or that magnificent book after for the thinking and feeling author. And of course, everyone will be happy to meet the old characters from the "Bookseller's Diary" again or meet new ones.
