One of the most beloved "mosaic novels," The Library presents a series of tales centered on our love of books-taken, at times, to extremes. A writer encounters a website where all his possible future books are on display; a lonely man faces an infinite flow of hardback books through his mailbox; an ordinary library turns by night into an archive of souls; the Devil sets about raising standards of infernal literacy; one book houses all books; a connoisseur of hardcovers strives to expel a lone paperback from his collection. Winner of the 2003 World Fantasy Award for Best Novella!
