Thank you NetGalley! 3.5⭐️ Michael Ashe is a young rare book dealer whose business is in decline due to the surge in electronic capabilities. Passionate about his profession of safeguarding rare books into learning libraries, he’s horrified to find they may be destroyed to digitize them. When his new relationship is jeopardized by different viewpoints, he takes a stand. A fascinating novella that inserts history into the storyline. Felt that due to the very short offering, the lengthy interspersed historical information was a bit lengthy and unbalanced the book. The author notes run-on sentences but he himself fell into this pitfall himself several times. Good it felt unbalanced.
