b03-251225002005015-000ブックセラーズ・ダイアリー:スコットランド最大の古書店の一年 白水社 ショーン・バイセル本を買いに行ったはずが、書店を買ってしまった。
著者は1970年、イギリス、スコットランドのウィグタウン生まれ。「自他共に認める田舎」である故郷を大学進学で離れたが、30歳のとき、クリスマスの帰省中に、立ち寄った老舗古書店「ザ・ブックショップ」を衝動買いしてしまう。諸手続きをへて翌年手に入った店は、いまや10万冊の在庫を擁するスコットランド最大の古書店だ。かつて国内最悪の失業率に苦しんでいたウィグタウンも、書店の町として知られるようになり、町にも店にも世界中から観光客が訪れる。とはいえ、由緒ある築約200年の建物は維持費がかさむ。厳冬期には客足が途絶え、一方で暖房費はばかにならない。さらに大手書店チェーン、のちには巨大資本アマゾンと電子書籍化という手ごわいライバルが行く手に立ちふさがる。時に奇天烈、時に傍若無人な日々の客たち。有能だけど変人の度が過ぎる従業員(いちばん変わっているのは著者自身だというのが客たちの評)。大人気イベントである秋のブックフェスティバルで起こる騒動の数々。心ゆさぶられる遺品買取。個人書店の店主は、毎日がサバイバル・ゲームだ!9784560098554<%% SHIPPING %%>本は良好な状態です。※注意事項※■商品・状態はコンディションガイドラインに基づき、判断・出品されております。■付録等の付属品がある商品の場合、記載されていない物は『付属なし』とご理解下さい。

What is ZenPlus?
ZenPlus is an online shopping platform connecting Japan with the rest of the world. We're part of the ZenGroup, Inc. umbrella in Osaka, Japan.

Are items authentic?
Our sellers' agreement fully compels all stores to list only authentic items. We help you buy exclusive and authentic items from Japan, online!

Do you ship to my country?
We ship to all countries where Japan Post air freight services and international couriers currently operate. We don't use surface mail.

How long does shipping take?
Domestic shipments generally reach our warehouse in a few days, but may in certain specific cases take a week or more. International shipments can take anywhere from several days to several weeks to reach you after leaving our warehouse, depending on if you choose Standard or Express shipping.
Please contact our support team from the Questions section on your account page if you have any questions about the timing of your parcel.

How much is shipping?
Shipping costs depend on the size, weight, and destination of your parcel. We provide shipping costs for your order at checkout.

Will I be charged a customs (import) fee?
It depends on your country and its customs regulations. Our service does not cover duties and import taxes — in general, if the customs office in your country applies charges to your package, you are required to pay them.
