Stealing a march - Type Thief #arc

 

Here's an interesting free review book offer from a fellow blogger:  

A new historical novel, set in 1503 and beyond, spanning much of Europe: It's the Year of Three Popes. One of them commissions a typeface from a renowned Venetian printer for exclusive use by the Vatican. The resulting font is beautiful, but the type punches are destined to be stolen on their way to Rome.  

Meanwhile, in the 21st century, a book collector who specialises in typographical first editions is trying to track the type's amazing journey.  

Who was the type thief? It's an interesting road novel with many entertaining twists and appearances by historical figures.  

And right now (for a short time) it's possible to get a 'Free' Advanced Reader Copy (sometimes called galleys), by following the link to R F McMinn's page: It's here with the simplest of instructions to obtain a paperback or eBook. Recommended!
