Shaun Bythell

For the past two decades, Shaun Bythell has run the largest second-hand bookshop known simply as “The Bookshop” in Scotland. As a huge connoisseur of books, he also organizes the Wigtown Book Festival in Scotland’s National Booktown.In 2017, he published “The Diary of a Bookseller” which would become an international bestselling title that has been translated into more than two dozen languages. The work is a mockingly humorous story of the eccentric customers and staff that have passed through the shop over the years.
