Gods that “a town isn’t a town without a bookstore,” what might be the perfect holiday choice has just been listed on Airbnb:the chance to become a bookseller for a week or two.For the total cost of ￡150 a week,guests at The Open Book in Wigtown,Scotland’s national book town,will be expected to sell books for 40 hours a week while living in the flat above the shop.Given training in bookselling from Wigtown’s community of booksellers,they will also have the chance to put their “own stamp” on the store while they’re there.“The Open Book’s aim is to celebrate bookshops,encourage education in running independent bookshops and welcome people around the world to Scotland’s national book town,” says the Airbnb listing.The Open Book is leased (出租) by the Wigtown Book Festival from a local anisers have been letting paying volunteers run the shop for a week or two at a time,and opened the experience up to the world at large.“I wouldn’t call it a working holiday,” said Adrian Turpin,director of the Wigtown Book Festival.“It’s not about cheap labour (体力劳动) — it’s about offering people an experience.” The money is “just necessary to cover our costs,” said Turpin,admitting that “it can be a hard life,selling books in a small town,so it’s not a holiday for everybody.”“I think the shop would have closed,without this,” he said.“So part of the idea was to get new people in — people who would hopefully end up having a good time and a long-standing relationship with the town.”The idea comes at a difficult moment for independent booksellers.In 2005,there were 1,535 independent bookshops in the UK,with the number dropping to 939 by 2014.So far,The Open Book has been leased around 10 times,with guests including those from The Bookshop Band,a librarian from

superheroes.He likes how they help people.At age seven,he told his parents,“I want to dress up like a superhero and help the homeless.”1 Wearing his red superhero cape (斗篷),Ewan helped pass out 70 bag
