Any time of book, as long as it's in print in the UK. Obviously I don't expect everybody to know if something's in print, but I'll just let you know.
And the reviews will be displayed. I'll correct any spelling, otherwise we'll get every other customer pointing out that lots of words are missing letters.

I wouldn't worry too much about the type of customer we have. The good thing about doing recommends is that you can forget your market for a while. It's just about trying to enthuse people. It's really surprising and satisfying to sell books that you wouldn't consider to be your market.
And I run two bookshops, but they're not mine.
By the way, some selections are going to have an advantage (at the moment: Naked Lunch, Crime & Punishment, Picture of Dorian Gray, Fear & Loathing, House of Leaves), because they sell well anyway. But I'll give more prominent space to the more unusual selections to make up for it!
