review 1: Love books? Then you’ll love this one about struggling bookseller Delhi Laine. Finding her bookseller friend unconscious and in a coma and then her assistant dead, stuffed in a climate controlled closet in her friend’s bookstore, Delhi, always visiting estate sales and other potential book sales for her stock, hears about some treasure her unconscious friend apparently now owns.Pursued by other booksellers and threatened online as well, Delhi has her friend’s key that may unlock where the treasure is hidden.But Delhi, trying to help her friend, learns more than she bargained for and soon finds herself frightened and unsure just who to trust.Suspense rules and books seem everywhere and Delhi has her friend’s prize. But that leads to even more problems.If you love bo... moreoks and like to look for books in bookstores and at sales and lust after that one forgotten valuable rarity, then snap this one up and settle down for excitement and pleasure – you won’t be sorry!
review 2: We recently got cable after about 2 years. I have been feasting on a diet of Pawn Stars and Storage Wars. The thing these both have in common is the quest for the elusive Big Find... the thing that will make them rich.I think that's what I loved about this novel from the beginning: the story of booksellers and the search for the Big Find. Things I loved:The setting. The back story of Little Black Sambo. The ending. Well edited and fairly well written (how many e-books these days simply aren't?).Things I did not love:The title. Confusing at times.The story itself was just a bit better than okay. What made this book 4 stars for me were booksellers' community and its dynamics and the story of Sambo. less

I was pretty good. Some portions were tedious. However, overall it was pretty good.

Great premise but there was a jarring lack of continuity in the story line.
