The book of doors [sound recording] / by Brown, Gareth(Novelist),author.(CARDINAL)886148; Raison, Miranda,1980-narrator.(CARDINAL)873395;
Performed by Miranda Raison."Cassie Andrews works in a New York City bookshop, shelving books, making coffee for customers, and living an unassuming, ordinary life. Until the day one of her favorite customers-a lonely yet charming old man-dies right in front of her. Cassie is devastated. She always loved his stories, and now she has nothing to remember him by. Nothing but the last book he was reading. But this is no ordinary book... It is the Book of Doors. Inscribed with enigmatic words and mysterious drawings, it promises Cassie that any door is every door. You just need to know how to open them. Then she's approached by a gaunt stranger in a rumpled black suit with a Scottish brogue who calls himself Drummond Fox. He's a librarian who keeps watch over a unique set of rare volumes. The tome now in Cassie's possession is not the only book with great power, but it is the one most coveted by those who collect them. Now Cassie is being hunted by those few who know of the Special Books. With only her roommate Izzy to confide in, she has to decide if she will help the mysterious and haunted Drummond protect the Book of Doors-and the other books in his secret library's care-from those who will do evil. Because only Drummond knows where the unique library is and only Cassie's book can get them there. But there are those willing to kill to obtain those secrets. And a dark force-in the form of a shadowy, sadistic woman-is at the very top of that list"--Amazon.

El mercader de libros / by Zueco, Luis,1979-author.;
Año 1517. El joven Thomas atraviesa la incipiente Europa renacentista huyendo de su pasado. Son los años siguientes al descubrimiento de América y la invención de la imprenta, un periodo de profundos cambios que han supuesto el fin de la Edad Media. La curiosidad que siente por el Nuevo Mundo, cosechada en sus múltiples lecturas, le llevará hasta España, donde comenzará a trabajar con un mercader de libros. El encargo de localizar un ejemplar envuelto en un halo misterioso le conduce hasta Sevilla, una próspera ciudad que sirve como enlace en el comercio con las Indias y que alberga, entre sus murallas, la biblioteca más importante de Occidente, creada por el hijo de Cristóbal Colón y llamada la Colombina. Será precisamente allí donde Thomas descubra que alguien ha robado el libro que él busca y, por alguna razón, tiene mucho interés en que nadie lo encuentre. Hubo un tiempo en que los libros permitían descubrir nuevos mundos, tambalear los dogmas más sagrados y cambiar el curso de la Historia. Luis Zueco nos sumerge en los albores de la bibliofilia y nos traslada, en una perfecta unión de rigor histórico y trama trepidante, a una época en la que la palabra impresa podía ser el arma más peligrosa.
