The City Of Dreaming Books by Walter Moers
He finds himself in a subterranean world where reading books can be genuinely dangerous, where ruthless Bookhunters fight to the death for literary gems and the mysterious Shadow King rules a murky realm populated by Booklings, one-eyed beings whose vast library includes live books equipped with teeth and claws.
Moers' creative mind is like JK. Rowling's on Ecstasy * Detroit Evening News *
Marvellously fantastical * Sunday Express *
A yarn of drollery, deeper meaning and sheer lunacy * Rolling Stone *
