Owned and operated by the hospitable and knowledgeable father-and-son team of Harvey Jason and his son, Louis M. Jason, Mystery Pier is embraced not only for the helpful expertise of its proprietors, but also for its extraordinary selection of titles. One may browse here at leisure through first editions (a great number of which are signed and/or inscribed) of authors from Hemingway, Steinbeck, Fitzgerald, Faulkner and Orwell, to Salinger, Ayn Rand, Raymond Chandler, Dashiell Hammett, Ian Fleming, and many, many others.
