GREY MATTER BOOKS

 CHOICE OF JOYCE!
We have recently acquired a few thousand books from the library of an NYC Joyce fanatic. All told, there are about 400 volumes of criticism and exegesis, a smattering of which is pictured above. Said Joycean also had a serious interest in philosophy of all stripes, religion, psychology and mysticism.

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 acquired part of the library of the late, great Yale professor Marie Borroff. Professor Boroff was the first woman to teach English at Yale, and the second to get tenure at the University. The collection represents all phases of her life, from childhood through graduate school and her distinguished academic career, as well as her work as a poet.
