Oxford and Californian libraries
A tour of missing books, places full of books and most of the action set in a library. A journey from the academic spires of Oxford to the sunnier climes of California but it’s the joy of being so immersed in some of the most iconic libraries in the world.
The author apparently worked in the very same library and well, one in an academic setting seems the ideal place for a mystery or two.
There are also several books in this series so they give a good overall picture of the academic Oxford environment and since it was written and set in the 1990s then there are a lot of references to the old fashioned floppy disk and other 90s technology!
