Summary
"Set in Hobart public library, 'Two sets of books' contains eight stories, each exposing the astonishing secret lives of the staff. A book shelver burns down the library out of love. A technical support officer recreates a woman in an illegal sex videogame. A mute librarian is slaughtered and eaten in a vindictive fantasy. A home service courier gives an elderly widow an offer she can't refuse. An archivist attempts to save a woman's life with a rare book. A children's librarian uses the power of story to learn who is abusing a child. A young librarian is seduced into killing a paedophile. A security guard deciphers book titles to prevent an armed robbery. Sex, drugs, cannibalism, arson, armed robbery - this is not the library as you know it."--Back cover
