What We Do
We are an independent bookstore devoted
entirely to mysteries, and the largest mystery bookstore in
Manhattan. We feature a complete selection of new titles as well as
a broad array of our recommendations, classics, and out-of-print
books.
Recommendations
We
are known for our ability to match people with books they'll enjoy;
so if you are an experienced mystery reader or just starting out and
love mysteries, Partners & Crime is the bookseller for you. Over
85% of our sales are to repeat and referral
customers.
Authors
Almost every year since we opened for business in 1994, more than 150 authors visited our store
each year for both readings and
casual signings, so many of our books are signed. Our upcoming author
events are listed in the Readings and Signings section and you
are invited to our store to meet the author and have your book
signed. If you are unable to attend we can ship the signed book to
you. We long maintained a list of authors who frequent and
support the store on our website until it became so large that our
webserf elected to link directly to the
Mystery Writers of
America site. We do want to thank all of the writers and
publishers who have made this so much fun -- please come and see us
whenever you come to New York!
Events
Other
events include live performances of Classic Radio Plays by WWOW
Radio Theater troupe and Writers' Forums where panels of writers,
editors, and agents share their experiences and advice with
you.
Best of New Crime
Novels
We publish a First Editions Catalog both on paper
and online. Book collectors and dealers have come to recognize our
expertise in picking the best of new crime novels most likely to
appreciate in value. Our new author recommendations have appreciated
500% in the last three years.
We Buy
mystery books
We also buy collections of mystery
books. We prefer to buy quality first printings of US and UK titles
in excellent condition. We also constantly search to replenish the
shelves of our popular out-of-print collection. We will gladly
travel to examine a sizable collection and would be most happy to
make you a favorable offer for your book
collection.
Library
If you
live in the neighborhood, our Lending Library is a great way to read
the newest quality hardcovers at below-paperback prices. Our
out-of-print shelves offer a broad selection of those elusive titles
that publishers (sadly) no longer keep in print.
Physical Store
We invite you to visit our store and
avail yourself of our expert and friendly customer service, our
attractive appealing ambience, and our comfy chairs. We are located
in Greenwich Village at 44 Greenwich Avenue, corner of Charles
between 6th and 7th Avenues.
Virtual Store
We invite you to
explore our store online and experience our expert recommendations
and friendly customer service. We ship any of 10,000 mystery book
titles to any location in the world. If you don't see it online, email us and if it's
gettable we will get it for you!
