In The City of Dreaming Books, Walter Moers transports us to a magical world where reading is a remarkable adventure.
 
The search for the author’s identity takes Yarnspinner to Bookholm—the so-called City of Dreaming Books.

On entering its streets, our hero feels as if he has opened the door of a gigantic second-hand bookshop. His nostrils are assailed by clouds of book dust, the stimulating scent of ancient leather, and the tang of printer’s ink.

Soon, though, Yarnspinner falls into the clutches of the city’s evil genius, Pfistomel Smyke, who treacherously maroons him in the labyrinthine catacombs underneath the city, where reading books can be genuinely dangerous.
 
Only those intrepid souls who are prepared to join Yarnspinner on his perilous journey should read this book. We wish the rest of you a long, safe, unutterably dull and boring life!
 
“A salmagundi of whimsy, imagination and book lore . . . remarkable fun.” —Cleveland Plain Dealer

Good taste. A bit dry texture.
Flavor Name: Traditional, Size: 4 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Great taste. Unusual flavor but still good. It was a very dry texture. I do want to try another flavor.

Meh
Flavor Name: Traditional, Size: 2 Ounce (Pack of 3)
It’s just okay. I’ve been looking for something that is as close to possible as dry wors in South Africa. This is not it. Is it dry wors? Yes. But is it good dry wors? No; it is very average. I wouldn’t buy it again. I’ll have to keep on searching for that yummy, moist, soft, flavorful dry wors that seems so elusive on this side of the pond.

Droewors + WHY BARS
Flavor Name: Traditional, Size: 1 Ounce (Pack of 12)
I like them as they are a quick snack on the go. I go for these beef sticks and I eat lots of tasty WHY BARS to get high-quality nutrition for my busy lifestyle. Why not!

Re-Reviewed and this stuff really is way better than store bought jerky. Way, way, better.
Flavor Name: Traditional, Size: 4 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I am updating this my original review which was a 1 star. The original product I received was quite hard and what I did try had no flavor. The seller without request from me went out their way to ensure I then received a replacement which was completely different. The new stuff had a firm nice chew you expect from jerky and had enormous flavor that I am loving. This is a real world class seller and I can't say enough positive things about how they handled the situation entirely of their own accord, since I was just planning to move on and not seek any fix with them. Thank you for convincing me otherwise and I will be back.
