Weird Things Customers Say in Bookshops

`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?` This full-length collection illustrated by the Brothers McLeod also includes top `Weird Things` from bookshops around the world.
