Apparently there are a lot of mystery bookstores all over the world called As the Plot Thickens. This one was in Kingston and I do remember being in it in the 1990s. I don’t know when it closed.

Great name for a book shop, and cool book mark.

I don’t remember it very well, but I seem to recall it was a neat place. I’d probably appreciate it more today, but . . .

I’d kind of forgotten that there used to be genre bookstores. I’m so used to the “one stop shopping” mentality now that it takes something like this to remember it wasn’t always like that.

Yep. I remember an SF bookstore years ago. But most niche shops like that have closed up. I guess there are still comic book stores but that’s pretty much it outside of major cities.
