“‘Writers did not come to Pittsburgh (before),’ says [Mary Alice] Gorman, who will help current owners Trevor Thomas and Nathalie Sacco celebrate the store’s 25th anniversary on Halloween (costumes are welcome). ‘Pittsburgh was always in the Top 20 in terms of places to come to because of the numbers of libraries we had. But the market was never looked at as a market where readers purchased books.’
Gorman phoned publishers, booksellers and anyone else who would take her calls, insisting there was an avid audience waiting to meet visiting writers. She was proven right, and Mystery Lovers became an important cog in the mystery circuit.”
BIG THANKS to @TribLIVE for the great write-up on our 25th anniversary this #Halloween! https://t.co/OGJuyzm2yk #25years
