Reading The Tea

My friend Adam, known to some as “Fair Coz,” has opened a lovely bookstore in Fort Greene/Park Slope. For all you bibliophiles, I highly recommend that you check it out. When you walk in, you’re instantly immersed in books, with loose categorizations and intriguing possibilities — the perfect place for finding books that you desperately need, you just didn’t know it yet. The first time I was there I went home with a lovely full-color Pilobolus Alphabet book. Another time I met an antique how-to book on baseball. Having never developed an understanding of the classic american sport, it almost seduced me, but that time I held strong, and took a couple of novels home with me instead. If you’re ever at a loss, Adam or the lovely Emily are there to guide you through your book-finding adventure. I urge all to go to the Grand Opening Celebration this Sunday. (Though the store has been open since June, this is the celebration.) I’ve heard rumors of refreshments available, and many local authors are giving readings.
