A bit macho but that is of little surprise given when it was written and by whom. The insider knowledge on the world of books (primarily used books) is what sets this anachronistic series apart from others that I have tried, and abandoned, and which makes this a series to finish. ( )

Good, enjoyed all the book lore. Noir romance felt a bit forced to me. Will try another, as this was the first ( )

Disappointing ( )

Preposterous and totally pleasurable. ( )

This book took a little while to get going and it is a little dated 1986, in the way the main character acts. But it takes place in Denver, which is where the author lives, it has loads of information about book scouting and buying valuable books and the mystery is rather well imagined. ( )
