Would You Want to Run a Bookstore on Vacation?


Let's just say I'm ready to visit Wigtown, Scotland for a week and run a bookstore while on vacation! Sure, I've worked at three different bookstores during my life, so I have an idea of what to expect while working at a bookstore. BUT calling the shots for the week, would be pretty cool and fun.

Wigtown, Scotland has an annual ten day book festival. Wigtown also has approximately 14-17 bookstores and a population of 850 to 900 people. Wow, that's a lot of bookstores for a town with so few people!

Checkout the above video on YouTube about three sisters from Ohio who spend a week running The Open Book in Wigtown for a week and why they chose to do so.
