    About this ebook

    Discover rare and interesting facts about Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore by Robin Sloan!



    For bibliophiles, a 24-hour bookstore sounds like a dream come true. For Clay Jannon, a 24-hour bookstore is the starting point for an epic adventure in Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore. Clay is a recent graduate of art school who has just been let go from his job. He fills his time by reading wanted ads while walking around San Francisco. Eventually, he stumbles across a wanted ad for a night shift worker at Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore. Once inside the store, Clay follows the trail of a well-kept secret and uncovers an underground fellowship of book lovers. Robin Sloan's first hit book release, called a “cabinet of wonders” by Newsday's Carmella Ciuraru, is sure to be a delightful novel for any book lover.
