And it's right here in sunny Winnipeg. Yes, it does get down
into the minus 40's in the depths of winter, but it's still
sunny. And we can hit plus 40 in the summer.
Henrietta and Gaylene are wonderful people and operate a very
nice place. I tend to haunt their used section, and attend a
writers' group each month at the shop. I developed a Saturday
morning habit of taking my kids to the Bread & Circuses
bakery down the block from Whodunit (and also the place where
they hold their larger readings) for warm cinnamon buns. We'd
be there when Henrietta opened up, and she'd provide markers
and paper for my kids to draw on while I searched the
shelves. I believe there's still a print or two posted on the
wall, way down low. Not a big noir/hardboiled slant to their
stock, but they cover the bases and happily order anything.
Unfortunately, I understand they want to retire when the
lease is up next year, so if anyone is looking to get into
the Canadian bookselling business, this is your opportunity.
I believe the asking price is C$95,000, including inventory.
Someone step up and be the one whosaved Whodunit.
