We believe that our Frequent Buyers Discount Program offers all mystery readers an excellent value -- discounts on your purchases that are not limited to just specific titles (read what you want!) or certain formats (paperbacks, hardcovers -- save on whichever you prefer). You'll find out about our events and recommendation through our store newsletter. Plus, you'll be supporting a bookstore that supports this community.

Program members receive a discount of 6% on purchases immediately. (It's like we're picking up your sales tax.)

The discount goes up to 10% after you spend $300 over the course of the year. Once you reach the $300 spending level, your next year’s membership is free and your discount remains at 10%. Your membership renewals will always be free as long as you spend $300 each year.

In addition to receiving a discount on your purchases, you’ll also receive our store newsletter, which we publish six or eight or so times per year, full of news of store events and our latest recommendations.

Local customers who are Company members may take advanatge of some additional program benefits: trading in used books for credit and checking out forthcoming releases through our Friends & Neighbors program.

All this for a low membership charge of just $6.00 per year. Your initial membership is free with a one-time purchase of just $100.

Six reasons why your Mystery Company membership matters:

1) Your frequent buyer’s discount is good on every book we stock — new, used, hardcover, paperback — and even on most all special order books (even non-mystery titles). No other discount program applies to such a wide range.

2) Membership includes a subscription to our lively, opinionated and informative store newsletter.

3) Only members can trade in used books for store credit.

4) Your membership supports our efforts to book author visits. There’s strength in numbers; the larger our membership base, the more persuasive we can be.

5) Our program saves you more. With our low annual charge (and a free renewal for spending just $300 per year), you’ll recover your membership costs faster than in the other bookstore’s program.

6) Your membership is an investment in a locally-owned bookstore that believes passionately in the place of books in our hearts, our homes and our community.
