Summary: Ruth Rendell's seventh collection of short stories also includes two unpublished novellas. The long title story is about a man whose life. in a sense. is a book. There are shelves in every room. packed with titles which Ambrose Ribbon has checked pedantically for mistakes of grammar and fact. Life for Ribbon is lonely and obsessive. Rendell has created an intriguingly diverse selection of tales. united by the customary dark vision of the author. The title story is shot through with elements of the macabre.
