Hey, I do support mystery bookstores. I bought almost all my books at my local mystery store, Nebula, in Montreal, until it closed. But so far, only one of those independent mystery bookstores has ever offered to advertise on this site. Neither has Amazon, in fact, but they did at least offer to give me a percentage of any books I do sell through a link to their site. Not much, but it’s more than almost anyone else has offered. And I do list any mystery bookstore that asks nicely, under Booksellers & Dealers in the Mystery Links. And, of course, I’m more than willing to accept paid advertising from any independent mystery bookstore (or authors or publishers or whoever).
