The other is the 42-year-old <strong><a href="https://www.mysteriousbookshop.com/" target="_blank">Mysterious Bookshop</a></strong> at 58 Warren St., the oldest and one of the biggest bookshops in the USA devoted to mysteries (in addition to all the latest titles, don’t miss its classics, like the entire <strong style="background:transparent;border:0px;margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;">Sherlock Holmes</strong> <em style="background:transparent;border:0px;margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;">oeuvre</em> – elementary, my dear Watson!).</span></p>
