On our way back from Lake Placid we stopped in Saratoga Springs to visit Northshire Bookstore. It was Small Business Saturday and #indiesfirst was huge on Twitter.
Northshire, which also has a store in Manchester Center VT is a great bookstore. Of all the bookstores I've been in I think this one probably had the biggest collection. Within just a few minutes I found Maurice Sendak's last completed book, My Brother's Book. The book, written for adults, is a tribute to Sendak's brother, Jack and his (Sendak's) partner of years, Guy. Just 31 pages in length it has both original prose and illustrations.
This was a quick trip to Saratoga Springs so we didn't get a chance to walk up and down Broadway, the main drag, but I am looking forward to returning and spending time doing just that.
