Elm Street Books is located in the heart of New Canaan. Inside it is very elegant. Browsing is easy as there are numerous write-ups right beneath the books. Many of the write-ups are hand written by, I assume, employees of the store. Other write-ups are from NPR, etc.
Since I work in an elementary school library I feel like I have a pretty good handle on what's out there so I'm always pleasantly surprised when I find a book I didn't know about. Cynthia Rylant's God Got a Dog (illustrated by the wonderful Maria Frazee) falls into this category. I also picked up Alice Munro's Dear Life which won her the Nobel Prize for literature.
Elm Street Books can be found on the web at: www.elmstreetbooks.com/
(their bookstore is far more inviting than their website)
Although I did not stop, Rosie sits next door to Elm Street Books (in fact there is a door between the two stores). According to their website they specialize in American comfort food and based on the photos I'd say it's worth a return trip. Rosies can be found on the web at: www.rosiecatering.com
