This bookstore shut down last year, but we're temporarily open again NOW THROUGH JULY 31st for customers placing orders of $35 or more.

We've cut prices on most of our inventory and magazines will be sold at a 20% discount, which will be calculated after your order is placed. Shipping is a flat rate of $3.50 media mail for US orders.

Every sale should have a goal. This time, the goal is to free up enough space in the office that I can give that (bigger) bedroom to my two boys, Aidan and Eamonn. So, don't just look at it as simply buying books, you're making two little boys very happy.

View Larger Image   The Road to Lisdoonvarna by Charles de Lint Signed Limited Edition Hardcover (1 of 2000 Numbered) Publisher: Subterranean Press (2001) ISBN: 189228491X List Price: $40.00 Our Price: $38.00 Description: "I've flirted with variations on the mystery form in other books. Mulengro, Angel of Darkness and From a Whisper to a Scream (the latter two first published under the pen name of Samuel M. Key) were all, at their heart, police procedurals, sparked mostly, I'd guess, from years of reading Ed McBain. I'd also touched on spy thrillers (the RCMP sections of Moonheart), tropes such as organized crime (the Mafia in Greenmantle), and various hardboiled characters who've shown up in the pages of various novels and stories. But this was the first time I sat down to deliberately write a mystery novel, with a PI as a lead character, and no fantasy elements whatsoever, hedging my bets only slightly by giving Jevon "Jake" Swann a love for Celtic music. (It doesn't matter where you put Celtic music; it always holds a touch of magic to it.) And then I set the story in Ottawa, because that's where I was living at the time and I liked having my characters walk around the same neighbourhoods that I did, or could." --Charles de Lint from the dustjacket
