Clive Linklater

The bookseller in this book has written a hilarious selection of anecdotes about his time in the booktrade. I found myself chuckling out loud at several passages and recognised many habits that are shared by myself and my bookworm friends. I even went to Hastings to track the shop down - imagine my delight to discover the author sitting at his counter! To cap it all one of the characters from his book walked in and Clive introduced me to him.
