Weird Things People Say In Bookstores by Jen Campbell
5.0
Ever since I found out what this book was about, I became obsessed with getting it, and I was only able to read it today. It's about experiences between booksellers and their customers, who ask the weirdest, stupidest and funniest questions you can imagine. Honestly, I loved the book and I recommend it to anyone who wants to have a good laugh, it really is hilarious, and since they are short experiences, it's quick to read. The incredible thing is to think that there really are people capable of making such unusual and stupid comments. I'm already looking forward to reading the second part!
Here are some of my favorite lines from the book:
CUSTOMER: If I were to, say... meet the love of my life in this bookshop, what section do you think they would be standing in?
CUSTOMER: I don’t know why she wants it, but my wife asked for a copy of The Dinosaur Cookbook.
BOOKSELLER: The Dinah Shore Cookbook?
CUSTOMER: That must be it; I wondered what she was up to.
CUSTOMER: Do you have any second hand crosswords?
BOOKSELLER: You mean crosswords that have already been filled in?
CUSTOMER: Yes. I love crosswords, but they’re ever so difficult.
CUSTOMER: Have you read every single book in here?
BOOKSELLER: No, I can’t say I have.
CUSTOMER: Well you’re not very good at your job, are you?
CUSTOMER: Hi there.
BOOKSELLER: Hi, can I help?
CUSTOMER: Yes, I was just admiring your shop sign outside.
BOOKSELLER: Thank you.
CUSTOMER: It’s really lovely . . .
BOOKSELLER: . . . Yes.
CUSTOMER: . . . is it for sale?
Customer: If my daughter wants to buy books from the teenage section do you need to see some form of ID? It was her thirteenth birthday this weekend. I can show you pictures of the cake. You can count the candles.
CUSTOMER: Do you have any books in this shade of green, to match the wrapping paper I’ve bought?
