An unchallenging, feel-good, life-affirming short book about an aging bookseller, his love of reading and his love for others, which he shows through encouraging their own reading habits. Very sweet (and may explain my current toothache, which is definitely not due to troughing a box of milk tray yesterday) and will go on Helen's shelves, as it is ideal book club fodder. I caved this weekend from my 'buy no books until birthday' resolution (and tbf, I'd already broken it by buying books for others and buying for myself in an NT second-hand bookshop because it's just the done thing), and bought three books include Max Adams' new book on the Mercians which I'm currently reading.
