...GOODBYE, DOVE SQUARE, by Janet Mc-Neill (Little, Brown; $4.50); TROUBLE IN THE JUNGLE, by John Rowe Townsend (Lippincott; $3.75); THE LIVERPOOL CATS, by Sylvia Sherry (Lippincott; $3.95). Three fine books about domestic adventures-including murder-set in the slums of English cities. The writing is clear and fast paced, without ever talking down to the reader.

In the late 1950's for example, the library began collecting Oriental manuscripts, of which it had only a few, "There were opportunities, the prices weren't high, and there wasn't much competition," Hofer says.
