Book description
Imagine a life of adventure, set in the world of second-hand books:
finding a valuable first edition gathering dust on a Parisian pub shelf,
opening bookshops in Montpellier, Paris, Bangor, trading books with a
holidaying Ian McEwan or Alan Sillitoe, and running for the door after
finding yourself trespassing in a wealthy Moroccan's private library...
William Geraint Rees lives between Bangor and Montpellier, 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.
