Among the high mountains and clean lakes, pastoral meadows with grazing sheep, knightly castles and reserved heather fields, in the vastness of the sung by Robert Burns and Walter Scott of the country there is a small town with rural biography. In this town there is the largest bookstore in Scotland, which is owned by a person with a difficult character. He sells mainly old books, both the most ordinary and rare and antique, and loves to call themselves a miseanthrope, since buyers, what a sin to hide, often behave capriciously and defiantly. Luddit of our time, Sean Baytell explicitly shoots Kindle, and for a long time and openly speaks out against the dominance of online technologies (and in brackets-of the whole depersonalized and stamped) But the misanthrope? No Misanthropus could feel psychology, humor, nature, beautiful, to have as many friends as Sean Baytell, to actively participate in the cultural life of the city - the Wigtaun book festival and other important events - and be, in contrast to all jokes about the stinginess of the Scots , generous and generous.
In his ironic, witty, sometimes deliberately straightforward, but certainly talented narrative, everyone will find something for himself-someone will be interested in the days of the bookstore, someone will hear the call to visit Scotland, someone will want to read this or Another magnificent book after the thoughtful and feeling author. And of course, everyone will be glad to meet again with the old heroes from the Book Two Diary or get acquainted with the new ones
