Weird Things Customers Say in Bookshops

From the hugely popular blog, a miscellany of hilarious and peculiar bookshop moments. Can books conduct electricity? My children are just climbing your bookshelves: thats ok… isnt it? A John Cleese Twitter question [What is your pet peeve?], first sparked the “Weird Things Customers Say in Bookshops” blog, which grew over three years into one booksellers collection of ridiculous conversations on the shop floor. From Did Beatrix Potter ever write a book about dinosaurs? to the hunt for a paperback which could forecast the next years weather; and from Ive forgotten my glasses, please read me the first chapter to Excuse me… is this book edible? This full-length collection illustrated by the Brothers McLeod also includes top Weird Things from bookshops around the world.
