This Sunday Times bestseller is a miscellany of hilarious and peculiar bookshop moments: 'Can books conduct electricity?'
'My children are just climbing your bookshelves: that's ok... isn't it?'
A John Cleese Twitter question ['What is your pet peeve?'], first sparked the 'Weird Things Customers Say in Bookshops' blog, which grew over three years into one bookseller's collection of ridiculous conversations on the shop floor.
From 'Did Beatrix Potter ever write a book about dinosaurs?' to the hunt for a paperback which could forecast the next year's weather; and from 'I've forgotten my glasses, please read me the first chapter' to 'Excuse me... is this book edible?: here is a book for heroic booksellers and booklovers everywhere.
This full-length collection illustrated by the Brothers McLeod also includes top 'Weird Things' from bookshops around the world.

Weird Things Customers Say in Bookshops by Jen CampbellMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This book features a lot of book-related conversations. Funny and sometimes reaching for the ridiculous, these dialogues are a fun read for a Sunday afternoon. It won't take you too long it's a short-easy-going-through book.
We're sometimes so inland in this bookish world that we expect people to know that Jane Eyre wasn't an author or the reason why Anne Frank never wrote another book,...
Funny and entertaining, ones are funnier than others, others are sadder than the first ones. A different easy read.
