SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
THE DARK END OF THE STREET
Edited by Jonathan Santlofer and S.J. Rozan
The Mysterious Bookshop is publishing a special limited edition of this exceptional anthology, signed by every contributor.
The vision of the editors was to produce a collection of dark tales, half written by mystery writers, the other half by mainstream literary writers, in which it is clear that the lines between the two camps have blurred. Some of the world’s most distinguished authors have written original, never previously published, stories for this landmark volume.
The contributors to this collection are Madison Smart Bell, Lawrence Block, Stephen L. Carter, Lee Child, Michael Connelly, Lynn Freed, James Grady, Amy Hempel, Janice Lee, Jonathan Lethem, Laura Lippman, Patrick McCabe, Val McDermid, Joyce Carol Oates, Francine Prose, Abraham Rodriguez Jr., S.J. Rozan, Jonathan Santlofer, and Edmund White.
Those of you who have purchased our previous limited editions know how beautiful these volumes are. This edition is limited to 250 copies, numbered and signed by all contributors. Bound in marbled boards with a leather spine. The price is $150.00. There are also 26 lettered copies available at $275.00
Reserve your copy today.
We have received Memory by Donald E. Westlake. This limited hardcover edition is $29.95. If you have not already ordered your copy, now would be a good time.
VOLCANO ASH IS MESSING WITH US!
Because of the the recent eruption in Iceland of a volcano, the name of which nobody but Icelanders can pronounce, travel was disrupted for several of our authors.
We are sorry to say that our May Soft-Boiled Selection will have to be changed because Alexander McCall-Smith was unable to get here. Luckily we have a great substitute: Laurie King’s book, The God of the Hive. We do think we will be able to get tipped in signatures from McCall-Smith, so let’s start again: if you’d like a copy of The Double Comfort Safari Club with a tipped-in signature, let us know.
In addition, we were hoping to have signed copies of Elegy for April by Benjamin Black. This is not going to happen.
SIGNED COPIES NOW AVAILABLE.
