It was Lewis Carroll, author of Alice in Wonderland, who was the very first person to suggest putting the title of the book on the paper dust jacket. He proposed the idea to his publisher and -- voila! -- it became the accepted practice from then on. So the one that started it all was Carroll's The Hunting of the Snark.
A delight!
Mystery Pier has single-handedly turned me into a collector of First Editions -- If I'm lying I'm flying!!! This bookshop possesses great artistry. Harvey & Louis are raconteurs, bon vivant & bookmen of the highest element ---

Mystery Pier Books is like the most wonderful museum, except you get to buy the exhibits.
From the moment I walked through the door, I found magic on the shelves of Mystery Pier Books ---
This shop is so incredible they ought to charge admission ---
Home from home. ---
More a museum and place of treasure than a shop. A dream.
I LOVE the shop!
