Now, Parnassus on Wheels is hardly a bibliomystery, since there is no mystery, however, the follow up, The Haunted Bookshop is most certainly a bibliomystery, and one of the earliest, published in 1918.

I mention these two wonderful books up as one of the main characters, Roger Mifflin, now has a Legacy Library, the first such for a fictional character! See here:

I read The Haunted Bookshop not long ago and remembered thinking that if the boyfriend behaved that way today, she would have a protection order issued and have him arrested for stalking. My how times have changed.

Absolutely! What about how the brother manipulated Helen's finances w/ a phone call to the out-of-town bank, and when the farm wife sees Helen at the reigns of Parnassus on Wheels, she comments how it's gone suffrage. The books were written nearly 100 years ago.

Have recently re-read the two as they are available from Project Gutenburg as an e-book download. I thought it ironic that I was reading an e-book in theses cases.
