Special Event

Beginning May13th, Centuries & Sleuths presents a special salute to Sherlock & Sir Arthur Conan Doyle..

Welcome to 221B Baker Street, a replica, which will be on display in the window of Centuries and Sleuths

during May, to honor Sir Arthur's 162nd Birthday (5/22). The house took a year to build. The

structure is built upon actual timbers—very small ones, of course.

The building and all interior parts, from furniture to fire irons, from

beer mugs to kitchen cooking utensils are handmade.

Only the inhabitants have come from elsewhere—of course, from a

shop in England..

221B houses Sherlock Holmes & Dr. John Watson, (Mrs. Hudsonn may be out)

The house was made by Mary Kay Ryan, a long term fan and customer of

Centuries and Sleuths and a resident of Oak Park. She has been doing

dollhouses and miniatures since she was 10 when she and her mother

“did up” their first family heirloom dollhouse which is now over 100 years old.

On Sun., May 23 at 2 pm Mary Kay will discuss its history and features.

BINC Foundation

Binc Launches Survive to Thrive Grant Program

Commemorating the legacy of the company’s late President & CEO,
S&S supports bookstore/comic shop grant program (Excerpt from article)

On the first anniversary of her death, Simon & Schuster announced a gift to the Survive to Thrive grant program in honor of long-time President & CEO Carolyn Reidy. Reidy was an early supporter of Binc as the Foundation grew beyond its origins serving Borders employees exclusively. This generous gift in Reidy’s name will help Survive to Thrive reach its $2 million fundraising goal. The grant program has raised more than $1,055,000 over the last 6 weeks.

Those inspired to join in making a gift to Survive to Thrive in Reidy’s honor, can donate here: https://bit.ly/3nuTRMu

Survive to Thrive will make grants of up to $10,000 to selected independent bookstores and comic shops. Applications are being reviewed by a panel of industry experts looking for stores with strong fundamentals and a commitment to serving their communities who can use the grants to accelerate recovery from the financial harm caused by the pandemic and seem poised for long-term success.
