The new-arrivals table is our favorite place in the shop. Here's what's on it this month — including the books our booksellers can't stop pressing into customers' hands.
Handwritten notes from the people who actually read them.
"Everett takes the great American novel, turns it inside-out, and hands it back to us better than we left it. The single best book I've read all year — and I read a lot."
"A novel that feels like a town. McBride writes communities like nobody else working today, and this one stayed with me long after the last page."
"Spare, fierce, and unexpectedly tender. A meditation on language, love, and what it means to keep writing."
"Six hundred pages and I wanted six hundred more. Funny and heartbreaking in the same sentence — sometimes the same word."
