Book 11 - Martin Latham "The Bookseller's Tale"
Martin Latham "The Bookseller's Tale" (Penguin)
Martin Latham is the long-standing manager of Waterstones in Canterbury and is a man of many parts. A Bookseller’s Tale is his love letter to bookshops, libraries, and all things de librorum. This is jam packed with wonderful vignettes, and full of interesting facts, amusing anecdotes, and witty quotes. It is to be devoured or dipped into, depending on one’s taste and time and rewards both types of readers. It feels like a night at the pub with your favourite book buddy and is just as enjoyable.
A treat for book lovers, which I guess is most of us, including my brother coming42, who also has a copy of this book!
