Synopsis
A charming and entertaining novel that captures the romance of books and bookshops. When you sell a man a book, says Roger Mifflin, protagonist of this classic bookselling novel, you don't sell him just twelve ounces of paper and ink and glue--you sell him a whole new life. The Haunted Bookshop finds Mifflin and his wife, Helen McGill, ensconced in Brooklyn, where they encounter some strange goings-on in their bookstore. The unraveling of the mystery provides a rollicking plot while allowing Mifflin (and Morley) to expound on the delights of reading and the intricacy of the bookseller's art. Newly designed and typeset in a modern 6-by-9-inch format by Waking Lion Press.
