That's the name of the excellent newsletter of mystery reviews published six times a year by Sally Powers. The latest issue has just been posted, and I am proud to say there's a new contributor: me. I've been asked to post reviews to the I Love a Mystery section called "Classic Corner." I've been given a page for my reviews, and I have a couple of reviews of excellent books posted this time - please take a look and let me know what you think. I feel honored to have been invited to participate.

Mystery Publishers
- Academy Chicago Publishers
An imprint of the Chicago Review Press. Features a number of interesting authors, most long out of print, plus some other odds and ends, including some horror stories by Conan Doyle. - Crippen & Landru
Crippen & Landru publish mystery short story collections. Of particular interest is what they call "Lost Classics," a series of anthologies of mostly uncollected stories by authors who might be enjoyed by a new generation of readers. - Dean Street Press
This small British publisher has a great many classic crime books in its much broader catalog. They are bringing back many Golden Age classics by authors who deserve another chance at a new audience. - Felony & Mayhem
This publisher specializes in classic mysteries, broadly defined, including newer mysteries that adhere to classic standards. They have just overhauled their website to make it much more informative and user-friendly. - Locked Room International
A small press, specializing in very good English-language translations of (so far) mostly-French authors of locked room and impossible crime stories. They publish in Print-On-Demand and electronic editions. - Merion Press
The Merion Press is an independent publisher of out-of-print works that were originally published over 75 years ago, but are enduring even today. - MysteriousPress.com
The brainchild of editor/anthologist/author/bookstore-owner Otto Penzler, the Mysterious Press has recently returned to life and now works with Open Road Media as an electronic book publisher. It is already republishing the work of a lot of classic authors, with more books on the way. - Oconee Spirit Press
A small, independent publisher committed to publishing "lively fiction, and provocative non-fiction." Most of their list covers early works by established authors writing traditional mysteries, such as Carolyn Hart and Margaret Maron. - Oleander Press
This small eclectic British publisher has begun publishing a series of classic British mystery novels, primarily from the Golden Age. The series is grouped into a section of their catalogue named "London Bound," as the books are set in London. - Ostara Publishing
"Ostara Publishing re-issues titles that have unjustifiably become unavailable either through the ravages of time or the forces of publishing economics. We specialise in Crime and Thriller fiction titles and our range goes from the1920s through to the 21st century. We publish thematically and currently have six series available. All our titles are published in a 'trade paperback' format and printed to order." - Poisoned Pen Press
Based in Scottsdale, Arizona, the Poisoned Pen Press publishes a fairly wide variety of mysteries. Some are reprints; many are new, by newer authors. Their website has a great deal of information about their books and authors.
