Marco Page's Fast Company is probably an early example of the bibliomystery in English (the first ever bibliomystery is from 1874: Scrope, or, The Lost Library by Frederic Perkins, followed by The Colfax Bookplate, 1926, by Agness Miller) while the movie adaption of Fast Company is most likely the first bibliomystery in cinema.
