Mark N,
Re your comment below:
"I visited MURDER INK a few weeks ago and they looked to be
doing fine. Or are you referring to an earlier incarnation of
the shop, and not the one in the '90's on the UWS?"
The one I'm referring to was a Manhattan bookstore started by
Dilys Winn in the late '60's or early
'70's, and later taken over by Carol Brener.
When it was in operation, Ms. Winn was very protective of her
name. When Bruce Taylor started a similar mystery book shop
in San Francisco, he originally called it Murder, Inc. (INC
instead of INK). Despite the difference in spelling, and the
thousands of miles of distance between the two stores, Ms.
Winn insisted that Taylor call it something else. Taylor
eventually relented, and his store thus became the San
Francisco Mystery Book Shop.
