Scrope; or, The lost library. A novel of New York… por Frederic B. Perkins
This is called the first American "bibliomystery," and there are some really interesting elements of biblio-sleuthing, for sure, as well as some insights into the waste-paper trade, the publishing industry, &c. The author includes some very amusing character names, as well. There's also a fair bit of period stereotype employed, and some bogging down of the narrative in a few places. And not surprisingly, I wanted more about the books.
