Silverlock by John Myers Myers. Available at fictionwise for around 6 dollars (multiformat, no DRM). it's a fantasy about reading, for lack of a better word.

Absolutely wonderful. And there is the Silverlock Companion by Fred Lerner, originally published by Niekas Press. (Silverlock contains an enormous number of literary references, and identifying them all can be a challenge.) This is part of the NESFA Press hardcover edition. I don't believe it's part of the Fictionwise ebook.
Myers also wrote a book called _The Moon's Fire-eating Daughter_, which is sometimes billed as a sequel to Silverlock. It isn't, but it's worth a shot on its own.

Another is the Lord Darcy series by Randall Garrett. Available at Baen for 6 bucks. The perfect conjunction between Fantasy, Science Fiction and Mystery.

Splendid stuff, that I've been fond of since the stories first appeared in Analog Magazine. Also perfect grist for a "define fantasy and sf" session, since it's argualbly fantasy, but worked up and presented in best hard SF style.
