| Get Gardening!...
Spring is here and now is the time to dig in and get gardening. Here's a selection of great books – and some of our favorite quotes – to cultivate that interest.
“You can bury a lot of troubles digging in the dirt.” – Author Unknown
“The greatest gift of the garden is the restoration of the five senses.” –Hanna Rion
“The best place to seek God is in a garden. You can dig for him there.” –George Bernard Shaw

| Fresh Fiction...
It's sometimes easy to predict future bestsellers. Too often, the same authors reach the top of the lists over and over again. And although these books are enjoyable, we all crave that fresh new voice to invigorate us. A bookseller's greatest joy is discovering talented new writers and sharing their work with friends and customers. Our staff receives "sneak peeks" at upcoming books from publishers all over the world – books that are often overlooked by the critics and media. And as a proud member of Indie Bound – a network of independent booksellers across the country, the Chester County Book Company strives to make choices and recommendations based on literary merit rather than net sales. Here a few titles that have impressed us recently. Click here for More

| Voracious Readers...
The staff at the Chester County Book & Music Company thoroughly enjoys discussing great books. We also thoroughly enjoy good food, fine wine, and cold beer. Lately we have been thinking about how we might combine all these pleasures and share them with others of a similar mind. To that end we would proudly like to introduce this new feature in which staff members “test drive” new volumes on cooking and share their thoughts, some recipes, and the results.
Our first offering in this new endeavor comes from staff member Julia Loving who created a dinner menu based on the recently released cookbook, AD HOC AT HOME, from the noted and highly innovative chef Thomas Keller.
