Product Details
Overview
A sparkling historical fantasy debut and the next perfect read for anyone who’s ever longed to disappear between the pages of a book—for fans of Alix E. Harrow, Sarah Penner, The Lost Bookshop, and The Midnight Library.
Every book is a door. Every binding, a journey...
Books have always been Olive’s passion. They’re her chance to put herself in the footsteps of thousands of different characters and worlds, all while safe at home in 1910s Seattle, running her father’s book binding business in her brother’s absence.
But when her father hurriedly locks himself in the shop’s supply closet without explanation, Olive’s routine is thrown all out of sorts. She unlocks the door. She peers inside. And the closet is completely empty.
Enter Jack Vale, a mysterious, handsome man in old-fashioned clothes who may have the answers she needs to find her father and bring him home. Jack reveals that her father is, in reality, a member of a guild of magical bookbinders that protects whole other worlds. And the beautiful miniature dioramas he painstakingly binds between the covers of books as a hobby? They’re actually the keys that allow these binders to step into entirely different realities—alternate universes just as real as Olive’s.
A dazzling journey through alternate histories, from Edwardian London to Sarajevo on the doorstep of World War I, The Bindery Guild is a fantastical whirlwind adventure brimming with dark secrets, page-turning politics, and a betrayal that could unravel more than one world.
