SCAM artist alert
Apparently there is someone calling themself "Luigi Calloway" out there who is claiming to be associated with the Mount TBR Reading Challenge. He is contacting authors and telling them if they pay him, then their books will be used for the challenge. It's possible he's also telling people they must pay to participate in any way. Please know that there is absolutely no charge associated in any way with this reading challenge and that this person does NOT represent me or anything associated with my blog. I DO NOT endorse anything that he claims.There will NEVER be a reason for anyone to have to pay for participation in any way for any of my challenges. If only people who exert this much time and effort on scamming people would put it into something worthwhile....like reading their own books!
A message to Luigi: Please cease and desist contacting authors (or anyone) in my name or claiming to represent this reading challenge. You absolutely DO NOT.

Oh I want a shirt that says Mystery Lover, cool picture. I have never seen a book store like that, wow.
Great picture! I didn't even know there was a store like that in NYC - I live on Long Island. Maybe someday I can go to it.
Great photo and what an interesting store! I'd love a shirt like that :-)
Where is that? My kind of store. You should have bought a lot of those shirts and sold them on your blog..you would have sold out...I want one or two lol!!! Great pic!!!
The shirt was a gift from my husband at some point. I'm not sure where he got it.
Great store! I love that part of the village, too. Did you find Otto Penzler's relocated Mysterious Book Shop? well worth a visit for any fan of vintage mysteries like you. A huge assortment - some with the old DJs. And there's always something affordable among the pricier collector's editions. It's in some out of the way street south of TriBeCa. A huge sterile place with no character. I so miss his old store on the upper west side with that spiral staircase that took you to the vintage book section.
@John: No, I didn't find that one. If I make another trip, I'll be sure and track it down. I was lucky I made it to Partners & Crime. Next NYC trip will be on Bev's agenda and NOT following Aunt Mary's. She tends to run on the same tracks...managed to talk her and the other ladies we were with to hop off the bus in the Village to stop here.
