Twenty-fourth in a series paying homage to some of our favorite
books. This hide is for The Case of the Missing Books by Ian
Sansom. I read this quirky book as part of a library school
project. Additionally, this cache is hidden for St. Patrick's Day!
Book Jacket: Israel Armstrong is a passionate soul, lured to
Ireland by the promise of an exciting new career. Alas, the job
that awaits him is not quite what he had in mind. Still, Israel is
not one to dwell on disappointment, as he prepares to drive a
mobile library around a small, damp Irish town. After all, the
scenery is lovely, the people are charming—but where are the
books? The rolling library's 15,000 volumes have mysteriously gone
missing, and it's up to Israel to discover who would steal them . .
. and why. And perhaps, after that, he will tackle other bizarre
and perplexing local mysteries—like, where does one go to
find a proper cappuccino and a decent newspaper? I also thought it
would be awesome to drive a book-mobile! Unfortunately, that is not
going to happen any time soon. This cache is football shaped and
has tons of swag in it, including a green stick on mustache, a
couple pairs of socks, lots of beads, some pencils...you get the
point. p.s. And if anyone has any book suggestions, let us know. We
are always looking for new books and may even throw a cache out
there for you! :)
