Inscrutable Update

Charlie Chan

Eggs should not dance with stones. –Charlie Chan

I just finished updating MysteryNet’s Charlie Chan website. “Discover and discuss the inscrutable Chinese detective, and buy classic Charlie Chan films.” I doubt anyone has been itching to buy Charlie Chan movies, but if you have, please buy through MysteryNet!

Also, note the cool ebay links on the side, that are live auctions for Charlie Chan stuff–cool how they do that! And there’s big money in ebay affiliate links like this these days, surprisingly.
