Booksleeve is a Redis client written in C# offering pipelined, asynchronous, multiplexed and thread-safe operations even for the busiest applications.

Both BookSleeve and StackExchange.Redis were created by Marc Gravell - one of the members of the Stack Exchange team - to address specific performance goals by creating an asynchronous API to interface with Redis in .NET.

Further information about the inception and purpose of this project is available in this post from Marc's blog.
