Cutting for Stone

Cutting for Stone is a breath-taking first novel, full of rich incident and visceral (often literally -- it is about a family of surgeons) detail. It is epic in scope, and covers an operatic range of emotions.  In the year since it came out in paperback, bookclubs in the area of devoured it and found it generated a lot of discussion.

Give a book-a-month.

Here's a sweet gift idea for a loved one who adores a good read: a local gentleman has set up a book-a-month plan for his wife. Each month she can select a book she wants to be charged to his account. We also sell gift cards (which can be purchased and redeemed on our website), but this struck us as a nice twist on the idea.

Vlogging Authors visited us last Spring



Shellie Tomlinson (SUCK IN YOUR STOMACH AND PUT ON SOME COLOR), and River Jordan (her most recent books is THE MIRACLE OF MERCY LAND) swung through town on their tour last Spring. Check out their video posts from their visit to Sylva.
