I write with a week to go before inauguration. If your state's capitol building has been ransacked in the interval between now and then, we offer consolescenes.
In the meanwhile, we are assuming there will still be an economy with an underlying political apparatus (or is it vice versa?) in the months to come, and are therefore laying in a supply of very lovely books. Some details follow below.
Welcome to Grey Matter, Hadley's premier hard-to-find bookstore for hard-to-find books. We are located a few clicks north of Rt. 9/Russell Street; the entrance is beside the water tower. We have around 40,000 books which we at least try to keep fresh. We are almost always looking for quality book collections.
Is Hadley too far out of the way? We have a swanky second shop in downtown New Haven, around a third the size, but still worth a visit.
We have purchased hundreds of volumes from what is said to have been the largest private art library in America. There are many books on illuminated manuscripts and related topics. The Books on Books section is currently packed to the gills. There are also many scholarly books, and lots of older, frighteningly heavy folios.

We have also acquired a smattering of the library of Yale literary theorist Geoffrey Hartman, including some artist's books (as soon above and below) as well as books on literature, Judaica and philosophy.
