Currently, over 36 book clubs order books through us. If you would like more information, contact Charles Schweppe.
Staff Recommends: Our Head of Reference and Information, Sarah Regan, leads our Mystery Book Club but she also enjoys nonfiction. If you are a “foodie” you should check out “Taste: My Life Through Food” by Stanley Tucci. “Tucci shared the magic of his Italian American family’s meals in The Tucci Cookbook and The Tucci Table, and now he takes us beyond the savory recipes and into the compelling stories behind them.”
