Last stop on Saturday before we head back to the farm and the heatwave was Bibliobarn. Right next door to Home Goods in Margaretville, this is a great rare and used book store. Owned by Linda and H.L. Wilson, it is a finely edited collection of books. Tim and I gravitate to the cookbook, arts and biography sections of the store but there is something there for everyone. Linda was managing when we got there and we chatted with her about everything from historical churches in the area to book binding. She is incredibly sweet and well-connected. We buy history books on the Catskills, good summer fiction, and art magazines. There is method to our madness because we plan to spend the rest of the day in our bedroom with a pile of new books, alcohol and our window air conditioner going full blast. We aren't going to venture out until we have to cook dinner.
