The Bookman's Tale

Enter the word of rare and collectible books. Of book restoration. Of Shakespeare forgeries.
Sent in a box of books to Calif-Booklover. Enjoy!
A highly enjoyable read... shy Peter Byerly, a young antiquarian bookseller, relocates from North Carolina to the English countryside following the wrenching death of his adored wife, Amanda. The plot hinges on Shakespeare's writings, whether the Bard himself authored the works attributed to him, and the role that forgeries sometimes play in this literary world. I guess that makes this a literary thriller.
Book left in the mailroom at Trilogy at the Vineyards, in Brentwood, California.
