The Gutenberg Murders. Gwen Bristow and Bruce Manning. New York: Mystery League, 1931. First edition. Original dust jacket; art by Gene Thurston.Nine leaves from a Gutenberg bible have been stolen from the rare books collection of a private library. The chief suspect, assistant librarian Quentin Ulman, turns up dead. Head librarian Dr. Prentiss—“a scholar of pictures and legends, tall and slender, with a droop to his shoulders that suggested much bending over a desk, and long delicate hands that seemed made for caressing the crumbly pages of old books”—may not be the quiet bibliophile he seems. -- source link
