With witty poignancy, The Book Shopper: A Life in Review describes the inner world of the writer's imagination and the outer world of disheveled used book stores and dusty basements whose shelves sag under the burden of too many books. In The Book Shopper Murray Browne discusses practical matters: How to deal with cantankerous used book store owners. Which contemporary writers he likes and thinks have staying power. How to assess a used book store to determine if it measures up. How to decide when to unburden oneself of a portion of one's inventory. He also considers more personal matters: What reading means to him. The rewards of the life of the imagination. How he set about writing about his life.

His essays and reviews have appeared in The Elysian Fields Quarterly, The Knoxville News-Sentinel, and The Grand Rapids Press. He has also co-authored Understanding Search Engines: Mathematical Modeling and Text Retrieval.

This item is sold brand new. It is ordered on demand from our supplier and is usually dispatched within 7 - 12 working days Walter Bain is the self-appointed dictator of the tenement at 13 Oldberry Road in Glasgow's cosmopolitan west end. For years, Walter has striven to impose his family values - stairs must be regularly washed, noise kept down, and wheelie bins moved back and forth at the correct times. When Walter is found murdered, there are plenty of suspects among his ungrateful neighbours. Comic book dealer Billy Briggs is estranged from his daughter, with his business in ruins, and Tony Miller is jobless and facing eviction, all because of Walter. Henrietta Quayle, bullied and belittled by the dead man, conceals a murderous obsession beneath her timid exterior. And alcoholic solicitor Gus Mackinnon has even more reason to hate Walter than anyone else. As Close Quarters takes a look back over the years at the various turbulent relationships between Walter and his neighbours, one thing becomes clear: although only one may be the murderer, none of them will mourn his passing. Close Quarters is primarily a comedy and will particularly appeal to Scottish readers, as it satirises the traditional and sentimental view of Glasgow's tenement life by placing it in a modern setting. The book will also appeal to readers of crime fiction. Features Summary As we look back over the years at the turbulent relationship between Walter Bain and his neighbours, one thing becomes clear: only one of them may be a murderer...
