Xin chào 🤓
Đây là review cuốn The diary of a bookseller 📚
#cuddlereads
➖➖➖
Chẳng nhớ vì sao lúc ấy tớ lại chọn cuốn này nữa, có lẽ là chọn bừa trong số những cuốn có trên Kindle thôi, nhưng em nó hóa ra lại là một sự lựa chọn không hề tệ chút nào anh em ạ. Có lẽ cái tựa đề đã gợi Chi nhớ tới mơ ước hồi bé, là mở một hiệu sách của riêng mình, ngày ngày không lo nghĩ gì, chỉ ngồi đọc sách. Lớn lên mới thấy cái vế giữa thật là không thể =))
Anh em có bao giờ tự hỏi về cuộc sống của một người bán sách cùng sự khác biệt của nghề bán sách ngày trước và bây giờ—thời đại thương mại điện tử phát triển, người người nhà nhà mua sách online không? Cuốn này có thể sẽ giúp anh em hình dung phần nào những điều vui buồn, cùng những khó khăn họ phải đối mặt đó.
Cuốn này được viết dưới dạng nhật kí ghi chép lại mỗi ngày về công việc mua bán sách, các vị khách, số lượng đơn hàng trong ngày của The Bookshop – hiệu sách cũ lớn nhất Scotland. Tác giả, cũng chính là chủ hiệu sách, Shaun Bythell kể chuyện khá là duyên, vừa đủ chân thành, vừa đủ hài hước châm biếm.
Những ngày ở hiệu sách, chúng ta sẽ được tiếp xúc với muôn vàn kiểu khách hàng mua sách. Khách tới mua, khách chỉ xem không mua, khách hàng là trẻ con tới và để lại những mớ hỗn độn, và đặc biệt, như thể là đặc sản của những hiệu sách, đó là những khách hàng với những câu hỏi kì lạ. Những phần này mang lại cảm giác như hồi tớ đọc cuốn ‘Những điều khó đỡ khách hàng nói trong hiệu sách’, buồn cười và khó đỡ lắm, kiểu vừa hơi ngô nghê lại vừa bực bực sao ấy, nhưng gây cười thì không phải bàn. Tớ rất thích những ngày người đọc được theo chân Shaun đi đến nhà riêng của khách để mua lại sách cũ của họ, thường là người thân muốn bán đi những cuốn sách của người quá cố. Nhìn vào kệ sách, ta sẽ biết được gu đọc của một người, cũng như phần nào tính cách của người đó, và những giây phút lặng lẽ khi Shaun lái xe trở về hiệu sách cùng thùng sách đã mua, như thể đem theo một phần của người ấy về cùng vậy.
Với tớ thì cuốn này không quá đặc sắc, nhưng tớ yêu cái bầu không khí ngập tràn mùi sách của nó, cũng như cái nhịp điệu bình yên nơi hiệu sách cũ. Mỗi ngày đọc trước khi đi ngủ, sẽ dễ chịu lắm đó anh em.

「WEDNESDAY, 14 JANUARY
Online orders: 5
Books found: 4
Before I opened the shop, I dropped off the van at the garage for a service. I had forgotten about it, so it meant we had no vehicle and couldn’t visit Jessie. When I told Vincent that Jessie was in hospital, he assured me that he would service the van as quickly as possible.
The Shearings coach tour turned up at about 11 a.m. Normally a swarm of miserly pensioners shuffles from the bus and invades the shop. They never buy anything, grab everything that’s free and complain about the prices, but today the only one who came in was a young woman who was polite and interesting and even bought some books. I asked her if they had kidnapped her. She looked blankly back at me, then slowly backed towards the door.
In the afternoon a customer spent about an hour wandering around the shop. He finally came to the counter and said, ‘I never buy second-hand books. You don’t know who else has touched them, or where they’ve been.’ Apart from being an irritating thing to say to a second-hand bookseller, who knows whose hands have touched the books in the shop? Doubtless everyone from ministers to murderers. For many that secret history of provenance is a source of excitement which fires their imagination. A friend and I once discussed annotations and marginalia in books. Again, they are a divisive issue. We occasionally have Amazon orders returned because the recipient has discovered notes in a book, scribbled by previous readers, which we had not spotted. To me these things do not detract but are captivating additions – a glimpse into the mind of another person who has read the same book.

What type of writer are you?
That’s a question I asked myself more than 20 years ago when I first got started and there’s basically 3 choices...
Choice 1: The Academic Writer
This is the type of writer we learn to become at school.
“Never start a sentence with ‘because’.”
“Don’t forget the comma!”
“Always write a complete thought.”
Some of these writers have gone on to become very well-known authors.
Some of them have made contributions to science, history, literature.
Some have made it really big.
But that’s not something I could do…
And here’s why.
The barrier of entry is pretty high. And you also usually have to get into a lot of student debt and write several papers that could take years before you become recognized.
And that’s just something I wasn’t willing to do.
Besides, I’m not even a native speaker of English.
And my grammar sucks.
But if you’re an A student, and you want to pursue a career as an academic writer - this may be the path for you.
Choice 2: The Creative Writer
When you say “I’m a writer”, this is what most people think of...
Who wouldn’t want to be a stay-at-home writer that can get up whenever you want?
The creative writer is the writer that writes fiction, that writes stories, and that entertains readers all over the world.
These are the writers that become world-famous authors, like J.K. Rowlings or Stephen King.
But for most writers, it’s not as dreamy as it sounds...
No one tells you about all the months you have to fight off writer's block…
Or about the bills that start taking over your desk space if you don’t go get a regular job...
Or that your first manuscript is actually “supposed” to get rejected...
You see what usually happens is this.
1. You write the book.
2. You wait a long time for it to get published (18 months).
3. And then you wait another long period of who knows how long before you earn royalties.
And unless you have a huge load of savings during that time, it’s game over...
So either you have a lot of savings to keep you in the game, or you’re forced back into a 9 - 5 to pay off all the bills.
Now I’m not saying you can’t do it. Many writers push through the hard times and become successful writers.
I just hate the idea of working a 9 to 5 or waiting years to get a return on my time…
So I didn’t opt in to being this kind writer either. And if you’re anything like me, neither would you...
Choice 3: The Revenue-Based Writer
Now these writers aren’t the best at English in the world. And they’re probably not the most creative either...
But that’s okay. There’s a different advantage to being a Revenue-Based Writer.
And that is they’re responsible for trillions of dollars of revenue every single year.
Let me prove it to you.
Think of any big names you can:
Coca-Cola, Microsoft, Apple, Google, Nike, Ikea...
How do you think these companies effectively communicate their message to millions and millions of people every single day?
They need writers that can influence, persuade, and inspire people to buy their products and services - on a daily basis.
And when they have those writers, they make more money. And when they make more money, guess what…
They pay those writers more money.
Now maybe you’re wondering.
“Well what do these types of writers actually do?”
Well here’s what they do, and here’s how to become one if that’s what you’re interested in...
Imagine someone has a local electronics store and they get some people visiting their website...
And their sales are okay, they’re making around $500-bucks a month online.
Now, what if you rewrote it or tweaked a couple things to increase their monthly revenue from online orders to $1,000?
Now they’re making 2X as much from the same website.
You’ve just doubled their sales.
Wouldn’t they be happy to pay you $100 for helping them make an extra $500 every month?
And if you could make them $500 dollars more a month, do you think they’d really care about how good your grammar is?
Or would they care more about how much money you’d make them?
And if you could make them money, don't you think they'd want to pay you more to keep writing for them?
Simple right? It is.
So it’s not like traditional writing where you have to slave away for 2 to 3 years before getting anything back for your work…
As a Revenue-Based Writer, you can bring in the cash after just a few weeks of work - sometimes after just a few days.
It’s great.
But like all great things, there is a catch.
And it’s why the average writer never gets into this kind of stuff.
You do have to know which gigs to offer...
Ever notice how some writers (who aren't very good writers) are making great money — while other better writers are barely scraping by or not making the income they deserve?
What's the difference?
Well, not all writing opportunities are created equal.
If you want to know how to use a NEW type of writing that companies are willing to pay you large monthly checks for…
I’ve put together a special on-demand training that goes into much more depth.
