  • From my guide, updated September 2026.

The Mysterious Book Shop has an interesting claim to fame. Opened in 1979, it’s the oldest mystery book shop in America. Focusing exclusively on mysteries, thrillers, espionage, crime and suspense, the store’s self-published biblomysteries is a hit with book worms. You’ll find new titles mingled with used and rare books as well.
