Weird Things Customers Say in Bookshops by Jen Campbell 208 pp.
This book is exactly what the title says, a compendium of odd things said to booksellers in their stores. Jen Campbell started a blog of just those comments and was approached to turn it into a book. She also solicited things said to other booksellers in England and other countries, including the U.S. Not surprisingly many of the comments are the same as some we hear in the library. Some are amusing, perplexing, concerning, and/or just plain weird. A nice light read that can be finished quickly.
