Following comments from Hans--
Betsy Burton, owner, wrote a memoir/history of this store a few years back which I enjoyed very much. I am sure they would be happy to sell you a copy. Or your local would.
In any case, this concludes the original twenty lists and puts us at 1,000 books. Thanks for checking in with us and keep doing so--tomorrow I'll post some miscellaneous fun stuff about these lists and on Wednesday I'll begin posting the rest of the lists in the order they got to me.
Edit: I apologize for the two duplicates(thought I think it was multiple staff members naming a title). In any case, it was my(Hans') fault for not being clear about it. Here are two more titles from them--
Beekeeper’s Apprentice by Laurie King
Bricklayer by Noah Boyd

They like Stewart O'Nan's Last Night at the Lobster so much that they put it on there twice! I'm an O'Nan fan, but twice?
ReplyDeleteAlso Cutting for Stone, which my clients tell me is wonderful. I have not had the time to read it yet, or it likely would have been on my own list. One of the "downfalls" (perks) of being a bookseller is that so many tempting books come to the desk! Despite what the clientele believes, we don't get to sit and read all day, much as we'd prefer it.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to all the lists yet to come.
