Why read on Fable?
Publisher Description
Witty. Whimsical. Smart. A cozy gem for people who love books, bookstores, and booksellers. I loved this memoir so much I instantly picked it for our Fantastic Strangelings Book Club. Go read it. You'll thank me.

“A marvelous experience. If reading 84, Charing Cross Road left you fiending for more charming non-fiction about bookstore people, this is the book for you. I'm very glad the audiobook was read by the author because I think his dry, almost desultory humour shines through best in his own voice. That being said, there are some lovely quotes that I wish I'd had a physical copy handy to capture. I think the key to the book's success is that as posh as the narratiing voice appears, at least to North American ears, the journey related is a humble, occasionally self-deprecatory one. While ridiculous and unreasonable customers are rightfully described as such, Oliver is quick to point his own fumblings as he learned the trade. Which does not prevent him from being warm and sentimental and appreciative when the moment calls for it. Truly, a lovely time.”Funny writingBeautiful settingFeel good
