James Augustus Dopeyworth wants nothing more than to become a
detective, just like his father and his hero Sherlock Holmes. He
loves solving mysteries and can often be found with a magnifying
glass in one hand and a chocolate eclair in the other. Poor old
Jim, as he likes to be known, doesnt seem to have much luck.
Nothing ever seems to go his way and it doesn't help that he is
extremely clumsy and is always getting into the most unlikely
scrapes. But one day an advert appears in the local paper that
changes everything. Will Jim become the famous detective that he
always dreamed of being or will it all end up as one big messy
disaster? Detective Dopeyworth is a story about never giving up on
your dreams, no matter what obstacles are put in your way.

village in County Antrim to an atomic research facility in East
Anglia. The book has an introduction by George Clarke and concludes

A heartening and uproariously funny novel of high hopes, bad
choices, book love, and one woman's best-and worst-intentions.
Without question, Fawn Birchill knows that her used bookstore is
the heart of West Philadelphia, a cornerstone of culture for a
community that, for the past twenty years, has found the quirkiness
absolutely charming. When an amicable young indie bookseller
invades her block, Fawn is convinced that his cushy couches,
impressive selection, coffee bar, and knowledgeable staff are a
neighborhood blight. Misguided yet blindly resilient, Fawn readies
for battle. But as she wages her war, Fawn is forced to reflect on
a few unavoidable truths: the tribulations of online dating, a
strained relationship with her family, and a devoted if not always
law-abiding intern-not to mention what to do about a pen pal with
whom she hasn't been entirely honest and the litany of repairs her
aging store requires. Through emails, journal entries, combative
online reviews, texts, and tweets, Fawn plans her next move. Now
it's time for her to dig deep and use every trick at her disposal
if she's to reclaim her beloved business-and her life.
