The Department of Rare Books and Special Collections by Eva Jurczyk is a book lovers book. Set in the rare books department of a large University, a mystery unfolds when a priceless manuscript goes missing, along with a librarian.

Clever, intelligent, well written; a look into the rarefied lives of obsessive book collectors, and one woman’s struggle to move out from the shadows of the men who dominate this world. A glimpse into the lives of the undervalued librarians we take for granted. A good read.
