    About this audiobook

    Roger Mifflin is the somewhat eccentric proprietor of The Haunted Bookshop, a second-hand bookstore in Brooklyn that is "haunted by the ghosts of all great literature." Beginning with the arrival of a young advertising man and the mysterious disappearance of a certain volume from the shelves of the bookshop, a lively and often humorous tale of intrigue unfolds, generously sprinkled with liberal doses of Roger's unique philosophy on literature and book selling. (Summary by J. M. Smallheer)

      Very engaging, and didn't go the way I expected. The narration is very well done too.

      Also, if you're looking for some examples of how much culture has changed--and not changed--in the last 100 years, this is a good one. The "hero" of the story has some inner monologues that are downright crazy by modern standards. "What right has she to be so beautiful and distracting! Why...why I would like to beat her!" Wow. And that's just one example of the yikes going on with this Guthrie dude.
