"I think the theme of Savvy is to do something even if it is crazy."

Good insight, kid.

Here's to the joy of finding gems like these tucked into books by readers past.

Here's a lame update for you: we're still waiting on the lease transfer to happen...all parties have not yet signed their portions. 🤷‍♀️

Ah, well. Meanwhile, we continue to offer 20% off all purchases, cash only.

This update has Musette dancing! We have a business license! Now, we must temper this announcement by saying we haven't got a lease yet...but at least we can hit the ground running when we do.

The rain is here and so are we! Come in and shelter from the weather with us for a while. We have so many good books--something for everyone!--and everything is still 20% off (cash only, please).

Oh--do bring your own bag! We promise to invest in bags when Saint-Ex is up and running, but for now, well...

Books we love.

Little Women, Louisa May Alcott's 19th century masterpiece, is especially relevant today. As we struggle to reshape and define what we are as Americans, the indomitable spirit of the March girls reminds us that what is important is tolerance, family, and empathy. Also, it reminds us that societal norms are meant to be challenged. This is not just a book for women. Men should crawl from out of their collective comfort zones to give this essential book a chance. If they do, they may find out that Jo March is a better man than any of us will ever be.

Musette would like to bring you an update.

The process is moving forward, albeit at a glacial pace. We have signed the first part of the lease transfer paperwork, and now we're back in hurry-up-and-wait-mode. However, we're taking the leap of faith and spending some money. Friday we ordered (and paid for 😬) our inventory system. (If you're interested, we're going with , the system we used in The Book Frog days.) Today we're going to purchase paint and shop for carpet.

We are absolutely champing at the bit to get this show on the road (how's that for density of cliché in one sentence? 😉)

As always, stay tuned. And be sure to follow us

Electricity's back on and we'll be open today, Sunday, [our current] regular hours: 10-4. We're still cash only (until we reopen as Saint-Ex Booksellers), but as an apology for being closed Friday and Saturday, we'd like to give you a 30% discount.

Come see us! Remember to follow us , because this page will be going dark after the transition.

And you know what...we're getting closer! Pete and I have signed our end of the first wave of paperwork, so we're hurry up and waiting. Soon?...Soon!

Zora Neale Hurston, novelist, short story writer, anthropologist, and luminary of the Harlem Renaissance.  Although an influential scholar and writer, she died a pauper and was buried in an unmarked grave. In 1973 writer Alice Walker selected a grave in the area Hurston was known to have been buried and erected a marker. Walker also revived interest in Hurston's works, which had fallen into obscurity.
