The Diary of a Bookseller / Shaun Bythell. - London : Profile Books, 2018. - 310 stron : fotografie ; 20 cm.
(The Diary of a Bookseller / Shaun Bythell ; [1])
Shaun Bythell owns The Bookshop, Wigtown - Scotland's largest second-hand bookshop.
It contains 100,000 books, spread over a mile of shelving, with twisting corridors and roaring fires, and all set in a beautiful, rural town by the edge of the sea.
A book-lover's paradise? Well, almost...
In these wry and hilarious diaries, Shaun provides an inside look at the trials and tribulations of life in the book trade, from struggles with eccentric customers to wrangles with his own staff, who include the ski-suit-wearing, bin-foraging Nicky.
He takes us with him on buying trips to old estates and auction houses, recommends books (both lost classics and new discoveries), introduces us to the thrill of the unexpected find, and evokes the rhythms and charms of small-town life, always with a sharp and sympathetic eye.

Babel : around the world in twenty languages / Gaston Dorren. - London : Profile Books, 2019. - 360 stron : faksymilia, fotografie, ilustracje ; 20 cm.
Bibliografia, netografia na stronach 343-351. Indeks.
English is the world language, except that most of the world doesn't speak it--only one in five people does. Dorren calculates that to speak fluently with half of the world's 7.4 billion people in their mother tongues, you would need to know no fewer than twenty languages.
He sets out to explore these top twenty world languages, which range from the familiar (French, Spanish) to the surprising (Malay, Javanese, Bengali).
"Babel" whisks the reader on a delightful journey to every continent of the world, tracing how these world languages rose to greatness while others fell away and showing how speakers today handle the foibles of their mother tongues...

The Art of Seduction / Robert Greene - Concise edition. - London : Profile Books, 2003. - 207 stron ; 16 cm.
Na stronie tytułowej: A Joost Elffers Book.
Na okładce: International Bestseller.
Bibliografia na stronach 205-207.
From the creators of the New York Times-bestselling "The 48 Laws of Power", comes a mesmerizing handbook on seduction: the most subtle and effective form of power
Which sort of seducer could you be: Siren? Rake? Cold Coquette? Star? Comedian? Charismatic? or Saint? This book will show you which...
Charm, persuasion, the ability to create illusions: these are some of the many dazzling gifts of the Seducer, the compelling figure who is able to manipulate, mislead, and give pleasure all at once. When raised to the level of art, seduction, an indirect and subtle form of power, has toppled empires, won elections and enslaved great minds.
Discover who you, or your pursuer, most resembles. Learn, too, the pitfalls of the anti-Seducer.
In "The Art of Seduction" Robert Greene deftly mines history and literature to create an indispensable primer on the essence of one of history's greatest weapons and the ultimate power trip.

Ours is the age of contagious anxiety. We feel overwhelmed by the events around us, by injustice, by suffering, by an endless feeling of crisis. So, how can we nurture the parts of ourselves that hope, trust and believe in something better? And how can we stay sane in this age of division?
In this powerful, uplifting plea for conscious optimism, Elif Shafak draws on her own memories and delves into the power of stories to bring us together.
In the process, she reveals how listening to each other can nurture democracy, empathy and our faith in a kinder and wiser future.

Bibliogr. s. 205-209.
Book of the Year 2004.
This is a book for people who love punctuation and get upset when it is mishandled. From the invention of the question mark in the time of Charlemagne to George Orwell shunning the semicolon, this lively history makes a powerful case for the preservation of a system of printing conventions that is much too subtle to be mucked about with.
