Step inside Brooklyn’s most unusual bookshop—where every shelf has a story, every book has a mission, and the proprietor believes literature can save the world.
In The Haunted Bookshop (1919), Christopher Morley brings Roger and Helen Mifflin back to the page in a spirited blend of mystery, literary appreciation, and post‑war reflection. Part love letter to books, part adventure, part cultural commentary, the novel captures a moment when ideas felt urgent and booksellers felt like guardians of civilization.
Paired here with Morley’s rare essay “Meditations of a Bookseller,” this annotated edition offers both the bustling life of the shop and the private philosophy of the man behind the counter. Together, they form a vivid portrait of a bookseller, a marriage, and a world learning to hope again.
Perfect for lovers of bookshops, literary history, and the irresistible charm of Christopher Morley.
