oh my word what a fun and quirky book!! im an MLS student and i loved some of the themes of fonts, metadata and data retrieval tools, books as a lost art form, books as a contribution to a greater society, and immortality in the form of the legacy we leave. it hit all the things! what a fun adventure I embarked on reading this!

I loved this book! Twenty-something Clay finds work during the night shift of a 24 hour bookstore. Determined to find out why the eccentric customers are checking out obscure books, Clay searches for the meaning behind the books. Bringing together ancient history with modern-times, the story's filled with intrigue, adventure, and delightfully-quirky characters. ...more

Loved this! This story is well-paced, has interesting characters, and has a mysterious plot that kept me turning the pages. I also laughed out loud when I noticed the cover of the book glows in the dark! Can't wait for more from this author. ...more
