2/$20 'Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore' By Robin Sloan

Fair preowned condition paperback, 'Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore' novel by Robin Sloan. There are some creases on the cover near the spine. The condition on this one is a little dinged, so can definitely be bundled for less. Pages: 288 Publication Date: October 2, 2012 by Harper Perennial Goodreads Score: 3.73/5 Amazon: 4.2/5 Synopsis: The Great Recession has shuffled Clay Jannon out of his life as a web-design drone, and serendipity, sheer curiosity and the ability to climb a ladder like a monkey have landed him a new gig working the night shift at Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore. But Clay begins to realize that this store is even more curious than its name suggests. There are only a few customers, but they come in repeatedly and never seem to actually buy anything. Instead they “check out” impossibly obscure volumes from strange corners of the store, all according to some elaborate, long-standing arrangement with the gnomic Mr. Penumbra. The store must be a front for something larger, Clay concludes, and soon he has embarked on a complex analysis of the customers’ behaviour and roped his friends into helping him figure out just what’s going on. But once they take their findings to Mr. Penumbra, they discover the secrets extend far beyond the walls of the bookstore. 15$ off your first Poshmark order with sign-up code: CATNTONIC Please let me know if you have any questions.
