What this book is about

Christopher Morley's 1919 sequel to Parnassus on Wheels returns to Roger Mifflin — the bookseller philosopher — now settled in Brooklyn with his own shop, The Haunted Bookshop, where a mystery involving a missing volume, a sinister customer, and a young advertising man turns the shop's cozy world inside out. A warm, witty, and gently thrilling love letter to books and bookshops.
