二手書店店員日記

Rate this book
所有愛書人今年必讀!
關於閱讀、關於一間書店,關於我們熱愛的那一切。
是怎樣的熱情,讓人甘願守著一間店,痛並快樂著?
店長歷21年,他收購書、收購他人的人生……直到自己的生活也成了一本書。

你小時候的零用錢,全都用來買書了嗎?
你曾經全身心熱愛一件事,又為此煩惱痛苦嗎?

▍太過誠實的店長日記
  尚恩在蘇格蘭規模第一的二手書店擔任店長,他打造的「威格頓圖書節」每年為蘇格蘭帶來鉅額觀光收益,堪稱文化產業的榮光;而他卻在書中說自己的書店已經負擔不起全職員工。在這個「書店愈來愈稀有,庫存倒充足得很」的年代,尚恩表示下輩子再也不想開書店了,但他始終沒有離開。人們熱愛書籍的根本理由成為尚恩持續堅守書店的主要動力──生活總使我們疼痛,而閱讀撫慰我們、讓我們快樂。

▍自虐出版業的浪漫人生
  生活是荒誕的,出版業的人生尤其如此。書店日常的真實基礎是日日夜夜為營業調頭寸、經營毒舌書店粉專努力增加線上訂單,並控制自己不要衝動毆打要求書價打3 折的顧客。尚恩記下無數的書店小日子,串連成有些辛酸又有些浪漫的四季詩篇:今天賣了多少本、誰來訂了什麼書;常客又做了什麼事;還有愛書
