The first couple hundred books came from my wife's and my own personal library and they reflect the varied interests we've had over the years. Some are books from which we've learned all we want (an array of cookbooks), some represent pastimes on which we no longer spend time (a stack of sheet music), and some represent hopeful endeavors (lesson books for German and French).

Since then the shop has grown to over 1000 books, chosen with the same care with which I curate the wine and beer menus and if I haven't already enjoyed one then I'm intrigued by it and may take it back.
