Seattle, WA, USA 98104 The Seattle Mystery Bookshop opened in the summer of 1990. The store sells hardcovers and paperbacks — new and used. The store also host author signings nearly every week and have a large stock of signed firsts as well as a selection of collectibles. They have a quarterly newsletter which lists the new books coming in, features about authors and mystery books, 'favorite lists' and more. They are a member of the Independent Mystery Booksellers Association. This group is an advocate for independent mystery bookshops and mystery authors, both of which seem to be somewhat endangered. |
| Other Info | Jedediah Berry signs the paperback release of The Manuel of Detection (Overlook, $15). JB and Fran both recommended this quirky story earlier this year when it came out in hardcover: Charles Unwin clerks in a large and famed investigative firm. He types up reports send down by the private operatives. When the most famed PI goes missing, Unwin is unexpectedly promoted to his office and assigned to find him. It is a strange, nearly surreal story, set in an unnamed east coast city with a port and at an unspecified time (there are still horses on the streets). Fun and bizarre. |
