According to official Chinese figures,the number of Taiwanese students admitted into col?

lege and postgraduate (研究生) programs on the mainland totaled 461 in 1996,928 in 1997 and 839 in 1998.

Like many lovers of books,Mary and her husband,Richard Goldman,seldom walked past a bookstore without stopping to look inside. They often talked of opening their own store one day.

When Mary was hospitalized with heart trouble in 1989,they decided it was time to get se?rious. Richard,who worked for a business company,was eager to work for himself,and Mary needed to slow down from her demanding job.

They started by talking to bookstore owners and researching the industry. "We knew it had to be a special store because we couldn't match the big chains dollar for dollar," says Mary. One figure caught her attention;She'd read somewhere that roughly 20 percent of books sold were mysteries,and many buyers spent more than $300 a year on books. She and Richard were themselves mystery readers.

On Halloween 1992,they opened the Mystery Lovers Bookshop and Cafe near their home. With three children in college,the couple could not spend all the family's money to start a shop. To cover the $ 100,000 cost,they drew some of their savings,borrowed from relatives and from a bank.

The store merely broke even in its first year,with only $ 120,000 in sales. But Mary was always coming up with new ways to attract customers. The shop had a coffee bar and it offered gifts to mystery lovers and served dinners for book clubs that met in the store. She also invited dozens of writers to discuss their stories.

Today Mystery Lovers makes sales of about $420,000 a year. After paying taxes,busi?ness costs and the six parttime sales clerks,Richard and Mary together earn about $34,000.
