This is the first book of his that I have read. I thoroughly enjoyed all of the insights into what goes into being a "bookman". The mystery was very good.

Since I am a sucker for "all things books", I will admit to loving this series. Janeway is a bit of a macho man but he's a brainy macho man so I forgive him. Dunning's writing is fast and clean and his knowledge about books is solid. This series is a fun one for readers and book maniacs.
Linda M. (What a good book!! And, what a good mystery! I didn't know a lot about book publishing, printing, binding, but learned alot from reading this book and enjoyed every minute of it. Dunning is an excellent author.
Jo Anne C. (The second in of the Cliff Janeway series, on which I AM NOW HOOKED! Even better than the first.

This episode gets into the fancy small press special edition world, where some truly beautiful books are designed & created, and later coveted for different reasons. I've seen one or two ... WOW! Here we have many basic sinners of various sorts making for a good story.
