It’s no mystery—Phyllis and Arthur Rieser are true ‘friends of the library’
Murderers, embezzlers, blackmailers—it’s a mystery lover’s paradise. The Ray and Pat Browne Library for Popular Culture Studies is the home to this rogues gallery, thanks to the generosity of Phyllis and Arthur Rieser.
The couple, formerly of New York City, donated their collection of 10,000 mystery and adventure books to the library when they retired to Florida. The Friends of the University Libraries thanked them Nov. 15 at the annual Authors and Artists Recognition Reception in Jerome Library.
Among the 10,000 volumes given by the Riesers from their personal collection are first editions, early printings and trade editions, including true crime and fictional crime from about 1880 to the present.
The donation ranks among the largest single-genre collections given to the University and complements the nearly 50,000 mystery and crime books already in the Browne library, which houses one of the largest collections of the genre in the United States.
