How to Reach Us
We welcome thoughtful correspondence from readers, researchers, and rights holders. The best way to share observations, questions, or concerns is by email to our acquisitions editor, The Editorial Team Ediep, at [email protected]. Charles oversees catalogue curation and editorial quality for Classic Mystery Library.
When to Write
We appreciate hearing about any of the following:
- Metadata corrections — if a title, author name, or publication date appears incorrect or incomplete. For example, a book such as The strange countess — Inside the Classic might be misattributed, or a series entry like Nick Carter Stories No. 138 … may lack proper issue numbering.
- Category placement — if an ebook seems misfiled. A romance that belongs in Mystery Collections might have ended up under Cases, Clues & Suspense, or a historical work better suited to Suspense may need reassignment.
- File or reader issues — unreadable files, corrupted downloads, display problems on a particular device or browser, or formatting that makes the text difficult to follow. Let us know which format you tried (EPUB, PDF, Kindle, etc.) and what you observed.
- Accessibility problems — if a book lacks proper heading structure, alt text for cover images, or readable contrast, or if your assistive technology encounters barriers.
- Privacy questions — any concern about how your data is handled when you browse, download, or contact us.
- Copyright or rights concerns — if you believe a title in our catalogue is not in the public domain in your jurisdiction, or if you hold rights to a work and wish to discuss its status.
- General editorial observations — suggestions for new additions, corrections to our reading notes or commentary (e.g., The shadow shooter — Text and Context), or any other feedback that might improve the catalogue.
What to Include in Your Message
To help us address your report efficiently, please include as many of the following details as are relevant:
- The exact page URL where you encountered the issue.
- The full ebook title and, if applicable, the series or edition name (e.g., The Silver Bar mystery — Background and Themes).
- The file format you used (EPUB, PDF, MOBI, etc.) and the device or browser version (e.g., Kindle Paperwhite 11th gen, Firefox 120 on Windows 11).
- A clear description of the problem: what you expected and what happened instead.
- If the matter involves rights or copyright, any supporting information you can share, such as your relationship to the work or relevant legal context.
Our Editorial Approach
Classic Mystery Library is an independent catalogue focused on public-domain literature, especially forgotten classics and archival mysteries. We strive for accuracy in metadata and presentation, but we do not claim that every book is in the public domain worldwide, nor that our files are flawless. Your reports help us improve. We read each message carefully and, where possible, make corrections or adjustments.
