Brad's the one who started this series, and I am following along. Truly, though, this was passed on to us by Mom.

Lot of interesting info about books, ink and paper - I'm in!

Eleanor and Cliff don't like book embossers.

An enjoyable follow up to the first book in the Cliff Janeway series. I actually think this one was a little bit better than the first. Probably because there is a girl.

Really great, one of the best mysteries I've read in a long time. It's super multi-layered, with many things happening at once and all of them tying in to a central mystery that is sustained with skill for 420 pages. I couldn't wait to finish this book, it was so great!
