Today, Wigtown, located in a remote corner of Scotland, is a destination for book lovers from around the world. This is thanks to Wigtown being designated a Scottish Book Town of National Significance in 1998, and the Wigtown Book Festival launching in 1999. The witty diary of Sean Bythell, owner of Scotland's largest second-hand bookshop and an active participant in the festival, chronicles the daily grind and joys of the bookselling trade. This passionate seller's wry and irreverent narrative will appeal to fans of the highly respected and morally abusive series 'Black Books,' starring Dylan Moran and one of the best sitcoms ever shown on television, as well as to all book lovers and bookstore regulars.
