Bernard Ludwig Black (Dylan Moran) is the sour and cynical owner of the bookshop. His hobbies are drinking, smoking, reading and insulting people - mainly customers. He is frequently found in the same black suit (later shown to actually be a very dirty white suit) and his idea of a stylish haircut is to get someone to slice off clumps of his (crazy, wildly overgrown) hair with a breadknife. Bernard loathes customers and all of the pressures and responsibilities involved in retail with a passion, which makes his choice of vocation all the more interesting, though he does appreciate the medium in which he deals (when asked if the binding on a book is real leather, he counters with "It's real Dickens".). He refuses to leave the shop unless it's to go somewhere less than two minutes' walking distance away - everything else is just not worth the effort. He was once engaged to a woman named Emma, but she eventually faked her own death to get out of the engagement. He only learned that it was fake when Manny told him, who in turn learned about it from Fran. He has a complex relationship with Manny, frequently belittling and bullying him whilst at the same time displaying a curiously possessive and jealous attitude towards him.
