520    " Arthur Prescott is happiest when surrounded by the 
       ancient books and manuscripts of the Barchester Cathedral 
       library. Increasingly, he feels like a fish out of water 
       among the concrete buildings of the University of 
       Barchester, where he works as an English professor. His 
       one respite is his time spent nestled in the library, 
       nurturing his secret obsession with the Holy Grail and 
       researching his perennially unfinished guidebook to the 
       medieval cathedral.  But when a beautiful young American 
       named Bethany Davis arrives in Barchester charged with the
       task of digitizing the library's manuscripts, Arthur's 
       tranquility is broken. Appalled by the threat modern 
       technology poses to the library he loves, he sets out to 
       thwart Bethany, only to find in her a kindred spirit with 
       a similar love for knowledge and books--and a fellow Grail
       fanatic.  Bethany soon joins Arthur in a quest to find the
       lost Book of Ewolda, the ancient manuscript telling the 
       story of the cathedral's founder. And when the future of 
       the cathedral itself is threatened, Arthur and Bethany's 
       search takes on grave importance, leading the pair to 
       discover secrets about the cathedral, about the Grail, and
       about themselves"--|cProvided by publisher.
