About the Author
Tristan Maya was the pen name of Jean Maton (1926-2000), a French bookseller, poet and humorist. Having worked for many years as a bookseller in Orléans, he collected the genuine mistakes, misremembered titles and amusing requests made by customers. These authentic encounters provided the material for Les Perles du libraire, making the book both a delightful collection of literary blunders and a charming portrait of the world of bookselling before the digital age.
