You can shop there in person, if you're in Blue Ridge, Georgia, or online, via the foregoing link. Books make the perfect gift, as they're easy to wrap and you can borrow them from the recipient.

The good and great James Capozzola of The Rittenhouse Review was kind enough to pay for the upgrade to remove the advert at the top of the page. Otherwise, this is a labor of love.
