    I am currently reading your diary and I greatly enjoy it. I also cancelled my accounts with Amazon this morning as a gesture towards real bookshops. Although it may be wonderful to see online what is available, I will try to buy everything live, so to speak. As I live in Holland, that won't help you much, but perhaps the idea that someone abroad understandsvyour frustration about Amazon might be encouraging.

    I very much enjoyed reading this wonderful book by all standards, and I felt that we are very similar because I am a dealer of old books, and so is my father. I told him how wonderful your book was, and he asked me for a copy of it. Booksellers’ memoirs are among the things that I like to read, and there are a large number of Arab booksellers who wrote their memoirs And their diaries, old and new, but looking at what is written by booksellers from other cultures is an interesting experience.

    It’s 3 am here in Saint-Petersburg, Russia and I just can’t stop reading your book which was given to me yesterday as a present! Somehow I’ve managed to take a break and google the author! Thank you for your book! It’s captivating! Btw, today I’ve talked with my friend about how wonderful it is to read printed books which were bought in shops. I’m really old-fashioned about it! And I prefer to visit Dom Knigi (The Book’s House) which is the oldest bookstore in SPb! I hope someday you’ll visit Russia and will meet your readers here!)

    Loved your tongue-in-cheek reference! Good luck to you. Loved real bookshops.

    Diary is deeply personal possession, one that you usually do not intend for another to see. I can't imagine the difficulty in talking about something private. And your passion and lust about books along with the moments of misanthropy and questioning excites me. I am not an avid fan of diaries and notebooks, but I feel 100% Shaun. Thanks for this fascinating journey!

    I knew there was a reason for my explicit unconscious hate towards Amazon. That marketplace is sucks
    P.s. enjoyed with two of your books. One more is ahead. I’ve bought them in real bookshops as I always do. Greetings from Ukraine

    Visited your shop earlier this year, you were out, loved the shop. I purchased your book from another shop in Wigtown prior to finding your shop, I suppose its still a sale. Really enjoyed the book, very easy read. I look forward to my next visit.

    Shaun, while your reference is very amusing, but it says more about you than the girl you employed for three years? Maybe you should should check your shelves to see if you have any books on how to effectively manage people.

    I've been a bookseller since 1978. Most of what you're saying is just not factual
