Description

"What's your biggest pet-peeve?" This easy Facebook query presented by John Cleese impressed bookseller Jen Campbell to begin a website collecting all of the absurd conversations overheard in her bookstore, from "Did Beatrix Potter ever write a book about dinosaurs?" to "Did Charles Dickens ever write something entertaining?" Those who have previously worked in retail will nod knowingly at demands like "I’ve neglected my spectacles, are you able to read me the very first section?" Or even the absurdity of concerns like "Pardon me. . . is this guide delicious?" Full of fun and cool illustrations by the award winning Siblings McLeod and presenting contributions from booksellers over the Usa and Canada, as well whilst the writer's native UK, Strange Issues Consumers State in Bookstores is just a party of bookstores, big and small, and of the amazing booksellers who work in these fictional areas, as well whilst the variety of colorful figures that walk-through the gates daily.
