THE MYSTERIOUS PRESS ARCHIVE SPEC.RARE.CMS.384 A Guide and Inventory

Introduction: The Mysterious Press was founded and edited by Otto Penzler who is universally deemed the world’s foremost authority on and publisher of mystery fiction, a man about whom Robert B. Parker has written, “[He] knows more about crime fiction than most people know about anything.” The archives represent not only the complete manuscripts, corrected proofs, and correspondence of the Mysterious Press’ publications, but pristine copies of all galleys, limited editions, and first editions of the press, as well as other items. Among the many important and influential writers represented in this unique archive are Eric Ambler, Kingsley Amis, Isaac Asimov, Lawrence Block, Jerome Charyn, Len Deighton, Harlan Ellison, James Ellroy (6 titles altogether, including The Black Dahlia and L.A. Confidential), Erle Stanley Gardner, Patricia Highsmith, Elmore Leonard (represented by important miscellaneous materials). Ed McBain, John D. McDonald, Ruth Rendell, Rex Stout, Donald E. Westlake (some 9 titles are included), Gahan Wilson, and numerous others. No other comparable collection of papers representing such breadth and depth of mystery fiction has been, or is likely ever to be offered for institutional sale. Among Mr. Penzler’s many awards are an Edgar Award, the Raven Award given by the Mystery Writers of America for Lifetime Achievement, the Ellery Queen Award given by the Mystery Writers of America for contributions to the world of mystery publishing, and most recently, as the editor of The Lineup—named by The New York Times as one of the 10 Best Books of 2009.

The bulk of the collection consists of materials related to the publication of individual books, sorted first chronologically, and then by author and title, covering the years 1976-1992 (boxes 1- 120). This is followed by miscellaneous correspondence and ephemera items. Copies of the books, set aside within text boxes, have been cataloged individually, and may be found in the Libraries’ catalog.
