Weird Things Customers Say In Bookshops Av Jen Campbell

<p>''Can books conduct electricity?''<br><br>''My children are just climbing your bookshelves: that''s ok... isn''t it?'' <br><br>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 <i>''Did Beatrix Potter ever write a book about dinosaurs?''</i> 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?'' <br><br>This full-length collection illustrated by the Brothers McLeod also includes top ''Weird Things'' from bookshops around the world.</p>
