'This year my staff, some only teenagers doing a few hours for me, have been verbally abused and I've had to step in and say: 'Hold on! It's not a life threatening situation, they are only school books.'

The owner of an independent bookshop has revealed that she has been spat at, screamed at and had her life threatened by abusive parents over delays in getting school books ahead of new term

"Every year it is the same for many bookstore owners. Parents get angry if there is any delay in school books from the publishers and we are abused over it," she said "Many of the publishing houses don't know in advance how many schools are putting their books on the list so they can print the amount in demand.

"Others arrive with schoolbook lists in August and when we tell them we can't guarantee to have the books before September, they lose it and start shouting and swearing.
