What is the secret sauce behind Malaprop's Bookstore's excellently curated collection? Senior Buyer Justin Souther talked me through the process of choosing books.
Here's my recommendation if you're passing near the Dillsboro/Sylva/Cullowhee area on your way to Asheville: City Lights Bookstore & Cafe. 3 E Jackson St, Sylva, NC 28779. Cafe is downstairs, bookstore is upstairs. Tucked away off main street. Looks like an architectural marriage between a cozy courtyard house on the side and a store on the front. It's got the bookstore cat(s), the book smell, little nooks and window seats, and good eats. Love the local maps section showing all things southern Appalachia. And throw in Dillsboro Chocolate Factory for good measure. 28 Church Street, Dillsboro, NC 28725. Fudge for DAYS and lots of other treats in a former house.
I LOVE Malaprops and local booksellers in general. Saw the blind date idea at a seller in Chattanooga. Gonna go back and buy one next time. Thanks for the little moment of happiness in my morning.
