Not heard of Fforde until this thread, so went looking and my library came up with three Ffordes

The Well of Lost Plots
First Among Sequels
The Big Over Easy

Not read any Fforde before. The Well of Lost Plots seems to be chronologically the first, is that the one to start with?

On the subject of Holt I tried a couple of early ones, involving Greek Gods and wasn't much amused - but then I don't much like Greek legends. More recently I've read his "In Your Dreams" which I thought was very good and will re-read. It is a modern fantasy about a junior employee in a firm of Sorcerers in the City of London. Dark humour/thriller - corporate life with extra added goblins and non-standard dangers and some really good plot twists.
