And perhaps none are quirkier than the charmingly cantankerous bookseller Bythell himself turns out to be.Slowly, with a mordant wit and keen eye, Bythell is seduced by the growing charm of small-town life, despite-or maybe because of-all the peculiar characters there.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51971653042464,"sku":"NEW1612198163","price":21.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/91edXayAp2L.jpg?v=1783775478","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-diary-of-a-bookseller-1612198163","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
