Full of quirky anecdotes and literary odds and ends, these unique insider's tales of the trade are sure to spark the imagination of every book- lover who picks it up. See more

About Bill Rees

Bill Rees lives between Bangor and Montpelier and makes his self-proclaimed 'precarious' living by translating French football matches into English for a Dutch bookmaker as well as selling the occasional book. As a graduate of Bangor University Rees worked as a reporter for a local newspaper in London before the lure of travel and bookselling led him to take a less conventional road. His experiences of bookselling in Wales and France culminated in the creation of The Loneliness of a Long Distance Book Runner an idiosyncratic tale of friendship and travel published by Parthian in October 2011.
