They've got the best selection! Shoutout to the Chatham Bookstore.

Appropriately, one recent purchase was Eula Biss's Having and Being Had (which got me hooked from the opening paragraph on buying furniture for a new house).

On my to-buy list: Ocean Vuong's The Emperor of Gladness, Dorothy Baker's Cassandra at the Wedding, Olivia Laing's Garden Against Time, Gloria Dickie's Eight Bears :)
