Like the description says, this IS a book that creates a bridge between Compass, Knife & Spyglass with La Belle Sauvage, Secet Commwelath, & (Whatever Book #3 of the Books of Dust will be called). I recommend adding this book to your Dark Materials & Books of Dust Collection along with "Once Upon A Time In The North", "The Collectors" & "Lyra's (pronounced as Lie-ra) Oxford".
