The readers would like to give appreciative
acknowledgement to BIG SLEEP BOOKS in St. Louis,
which provided us with store information
and even discount coupons. Thanks also to
Marianne Cavanaugh and the Local Arrangements
Committee for making that extra local arrangement.
We also thank Jill Cogan who compiled the
bibliography of St. Louis mysteries and who
has generously volunteered to do the same
for our Baltimore ARLIS/NA conference.
Finally, a note of solicitation on behalf of
Amy Ciccone and Shannon Van Kirk, ARLIS/NA
colleagues who are compiling a bibliography
of art-related fiction (not just mysteries).
If you have recommendations, especially the
more off-the-beaten-track titles, please contact

Happy reading and hope to hear your book
recommendations next conference.
