What is on the shelves

The Quiet House

A slow, domestic novel about three sisters and one inherited house. The staff pick of the season, shelved face-out for a reason.

Salt Atlas

A debut story collection set in coastal towns. Uneven in places, honestly, but the two best stories are worth the cover price alone.

Late Correspondence

A poetry collection about letters never sent. Short enough to read in one sitting in the window chair, which is exactly where we shelve it.

Field Notes in Verse

Nature poetry, plainly written, no ornament. A good gift for someone who says they do not read poetry.

First edition, The Long Road Home

A genuine first printing, bought from an estate sale. Foxed pages, a cracked spine, and a price that reflects both. One copy only.

Pressed Flowers, a reader’s copy

Secondhand, well loved, previous owner’s pencil notes in the margins. Priced for reading, not collecting.

A First Library

A picture book about a child who cannot choose which book to bring home. Read it in the shop first - some kids just want the library version.

Pocket Folktales

Short retellings, one per page, sized for small hands. Sturdy enough to survive being a favorite.
