New Lawrence bookstore is a mystery to customers
Bv JENNIFER ROWLAND Staff writer
Have you ever kept yourself awake at night wondering if Sherlock Holmes will crack the case, expose a thief or snare a murderer at the end of a trail of blood?
If so, Lawrence's newest bookstore may be where the answers lie.
Half of the books at The Raven Bookstore: Mysteries and More, 8 E. Seventh St., are just that — mysteries. Although the bookstore also has books about cooking, gardening, travel and self-help material — such as how to live with your teen-ager — mysteries are its main line. The store also sells greeting cards, games and puzzles.
Pat Kekeb, co-owner, said the store sold spy and detective novels as well as thrillers and non-fiction fiction. Mystery novels by John LeCarre, Ruth Rendell and Jim Thompson are a few of the most popular, she said.
"We think that our audience is primarily people probably 30 and up." Kehde said.
Those people are "reading for fun, reading for pleasure, reading for their own interests," she said.
Kehde, who is coordinator of KU Information Center, said some of the reasons mysteries had been featured in the store were customer interest and lack of availability.
"There are lots of mystery book stores in the United States, but there
are few in the Midwest, " Kehde said.
Both Kehde and her partner, Mary Lou Wright, a member of the Lawrence School Board, have been pleased with community response to their goods since the store opened Sept. 1.
Wright said many of the people who had visited the store since it opened had been "testing" the store for specific types of books.
"So far, we've pretty much passed most of the tests," she said.
Kehde said she had attended an American Booksellers Association meeting a few years ago, where she decided to open a bookstore.
declared to open a booth.
"We'd been thinking about it for several years," Kehde said.
