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.
I've read all of Shaun Bythell's books. I recommend reading them before putting your name down. Having said that, the waiting list is soooo long, you can always retract if you think it will be too much.
ReplyDeleteDon't understand me wrong, his books are great and I'm sure it would be a lot of fun to do that, but it's really heavy work that you have to be able to do.
I will look into Shaun Bythell's books. Thank you.
DeleteI'm sure you'll enjoy them. I think I left you the link to my reviews (and then to Goodreads) before, but here it is:
