Booked Twice : Booked to Die and The Bookman's Wake
Editorial Reviews
Review
The New York Times Book Review
A joy to read for its wealth of inside knowledge about the antiquarian book business and its eccentric traders...A soundly plotted, evenly executed whodunit in the classic mode...Cliff Janeway makes a honey of a debut.
Boston Sunday Globe
I am...an unabashed admirer of John Dunning's Booked to Die. No one...can fail to be delighted by the sort of folkloric advice Janeway carries with him.
San Francisco Chronicle
Fascinating...Very cannily and creepily, Dunning shows how quiet men with civilized tastes can turn into killers....The payoff, in pleasure, is for the reader.
Publishers Weekly (starred)
Crisp, direct prose and nearly pitch-perfect dialogue enhance this meticulously detailed page-turner.
Kirkus Reviews (starred)
Dunning, twice nominated for the Edgar, deserves to win one for this Denver-cop-turned-bookman tale -- a lively, seductive primer on how to open a bookstore, spot a first edition, warehouse it, price it, and enjoy it for its own sake.
