|summary=A prestigious library in the heart of Venice discovered that pages had been cut from many of its most valuable books and that several others were missing. This would normally have been investigated by a specialist department in Rome, but Commissario Guido Brunetti agreed to look into the thefts - partly for personal reasons and partly because it was the simplest way to move the problem forward. The staff at the library were certain that an American researcher was responsible, but there were quite a few factors which didn't quite add up for Brunetti and he decided to look at some of the other regular attenders at the library.

|summary=Just occasionally it's necessary to begin by saying what a book ''isn't'': ''J.K. Rowling: A Bibliography 1997 - 2013'' isn't the latest book ''by'' J K Rowling - she had no part in the writing of the book and doesn't profit from it financially. It isn't, actually, ''about'' J K Rowling other than indirectly. It ''is'' a book about her writings, bibliographic details of each edition of ALL her books, pamphlets, and contributions to published works. It is ''not'' a book for the reader who loved the [[J K Rowling's Harry Potter Books in Chronological Order|Harry Potter books]] and wishes that Rowling had written many more, but rather the definitive text about the books which will be consulted by scholars, book dealers and collectors, auction houses and researchers. The most obvious comparison for me is [[Stamps of the World 2013 by Stanley Gibbons|Stamps of the World by Stanley Gibbons]]. It is of that class.
