Jasper Fforde has done it again in this genre-bending blend of crime fiction, fantasy, and top-drawer literary entertainment. After two rollicking "New York Times" bestselling adventures through Western literature, resourceful literary detective Thursday Next definitely needs some downtime. And what better place for a respite than in the hidden depths of the Well of Lost Plots, where all unpublished books reside? But peace and quiet remain elusive for Thursday, who soon discovers that the Well is a veritable linguistic free-for-all, where grammasites run rampant, plot devices are hawked on the black market, and lousy books -- like the one she has taken up residence in -- are scrapped for salvage. To make matters worse, a murderer is stalking the personnel of Jurisfiction and it's up to Thursday to save the day. A brilliant feat of literary showmanship filled with wit, fantasy, and effervescent originality, this Ffordian tour de force is the most exciting Thursday Next adventure yet

mailing tomorrow to Potok-fan who took it from the VBB

Found this in my pigeon hole today! Thanks, AceofHearts.

Thank you, Ace, for passing this along. I hadn't remembered that this has been on my shelf for so long. But I have finally read it now, and it did not disappoint! It was tempting to worry that Fforde's zaniness would begin to wear thin, or that these ideas would seem stale. But there were some new twists, and I enjoyed spending so much time in the Book World.

I did find myself wondering, though - is this available as an audiobook, and if so - how do they cope?? :D

And what does Fforde think of amazon's new "Kindle"?

Got this from Potok as part of the May Day Exchange over at bob. A wishlist book! Thank you so much!!!

I have a duplicate copy of this one and as Jordanne has read the first in the series I think she might be interested to continue the series so I am sending this one along with another book I owe her. Enjoy!

Thanks Blue! What a nice surprise! Actually, I haven't read the first one yet but read the fourth book in the series last year. And now I want to read number one, two and three as well. Thanks for the rabck!
