Starting next week Toronto is going into "Grey Lockdown." What this means for Sleuth is that we can be open for in-store sales, but with reduced capacity. If Pixie did the math correctly--and her B. Math parents are not to be trusted with this delicate and difficult task--we can have a maximum of two customers in the store at a time! I suppose that's better than zero. So, bear with us as we work out the logistics of all this.

May we suggest the following:
-Masks and hand sanitizers are absolutely mandatory, still
-Please do not come visit if you have been travelling, have been sick, have been in contact with anyone sick...you know the drill by now
-Please come alone if you can
-Please limit your time in the store to 15 minutes

We will continue to offer curbside pick up and mail orders. So, if you'd rather not come in, not a problem, we'll happily walk your purchases out to you.  

Welcome to Sleuth of Baker Street's website. Use this site to search for and order titles.

It's pretty intuitive. Click on any cover. "Add to cart."  "Checkout Now" or hit the shopping cart symbol. It's that easy to spend money! 

One very useful tip: if ever you get “lost” in the website just “hit the cat.” Touching the “cat image/Sleuth of Baker Street” logo at the top of the page will bring you back to the home page and you can begin over again.

Another tip: avoid the "Browse" link on mobile devices. These can be huge files that will take time, and lots of data cap, to download. If you find yourself there, touch the cat!

Have a look at the "Recent Arrivals" or “Forthcoming” selections for suggestions. They change regulary, so visit them often. 

Use the "Search for anything" box. Leave the search criterion as "keyword" and enter a few key words. For example, the keywords “Connelly innocence” would return all editions of Michael Connelly’s The Law of Innocence. Author and titles are more exacting.

Hard copy versions of the newsletters are under "Newsletter."  The on-line version of the latest newsletter is an easy way to walk through the newsletter, clicking away madly. 

Play with it; you won't break anything! If you have any problems, call or e-mail and we'll walk you through them.

A caution. There may be many editions or formats for a particular title--hardcover, paperback, audio, etc--so have a careful look before adding to your cart. There is a running total of the number of books in your cart and deleting from the cart is simple.
