R.I.P. Enid Schantz

Just as I have finished reading the first in Manning Coles' series of spy novels, Drink to Yesterday, I learn that Enid Schantz has died. Enid was a bookseller and co-founder of Rue Morgue Press, which specializes in reprints of classic mystery novels such as those by Coles. Enid, along with her husband Tom, had been deeply involved in the mystery community for more than forty years. The Mystery Writers of America awarded Tom and Enid the Raven in 2001, for their contributions to the genre. My sincere sympathies to the Schantz family.
