DO A GOOD DEED, GET A GREAT READ
by Kate Stine
August 13th, 2008Hi everyone,
In addition to running the excellent Mystery Company, Indiana bookseller Jim Huang is a small press publisher, chair of the 2009 Bouchercon, a consulting editor for Mystery Scene, and an all-around champion of the mystery community.
And apparently, he is also having a very bad business day.
Read Jim’s note below and then take a jaunt to The Mystery Company website for that vacation reading you’ve been meaning to buy. You can look through recent reviews in our Mystery Scene Review Database or get ideas from selected articles on the website.”
Jim’s a great guy who deserves support from the mystery community, if you can please help him out. — Kate Stine, Mystery Scene
JIM HUANG, THE MYSTERY COMPANY:
“The power’s out in our building; looks like it’s going to be out for a little while now. We’re closed at the moment; will re-open as soon as we possibly can. The phones are also down.
“A pole behind us snapped, crashing down on the roof of the building behind us, wires, transformers and all. Duke Energy crews are working as I write this. (I’m out of the building myself right now; I left to find an internet connection so that I could send this message.)
“I’ll continue to monitor the situation, and let you know as soon as we re-open.
“In the meantime, we are of course open online at www.themysterycompany.com. I hope you’ll browse our inventory there. You can make purchases using our shopping cart and secure server. As always, there’s free standard shipping on all orders placed over the website to all US addresses. We can really use your orders, being forced to closed like this; we need to find some dollars somewhere today! We’ll offer 20% off ALL website orders of 2 or more in-stock books for the next 24 hours, ’til 3 pm tomorrow.
I’d intended to write you all today to tell you about how much we enjoyed all our events last week, including the overtime victory of Austin Lugar’s Shameless Shamuses team in our 100 Favorite Mysteries gameshow at Glendale on Saturday. And I planned to encourage you to attend our send-off party for Austin, this Sunday evening, August 17, at 5:30 at the store (for dinner). But I’m kind of frazzled by the disruption here.
Hope to be back in touch with you all soon with the news that we’re open again.
Yours in the dark,
Jim Huang
