But after a few days on the job, Clay discovers that the store is more curious than either its name or its gnomic owner might suggest. The customers are few, and they never seem to buy anything--instead, they \"check out\" large, obscure volumes from strange corners of the store. Suspicious, Clay engineers an analysis of the clientele's behavior, seeking help from his variously talented friends. But when they bring their findings to Mr. Penumbra, they discover the bookstore's secrets extend far beyond its walls. Rendered with irresistible brio and dazzling intelligence, Robin Sloan's \u003ci\u003eMr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore\u003c\/i\u003e is exactly what it sounds like: an establishment you have to enter and will never want to leave.","brand":"Robin Sloan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52103118389549,"sku":"BS-8XD-037756","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/3185\/6429\/files\/9781250037756-HD.jpg?v=1780255408","url":"https:\/\/ishookbooks.com\/products\/mr-penumbras-24-hour-bookstore","provider":"iShook Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
