review 1: As of this date, Goodreads says this edition has 500 pages. It does not, only 391. That being said I read this book in a fairly short time. I really became engaged to the character of this story, mainly Wendy, Jack and the cats, Beulah and Val-Kyttie. Wendy Welch and her husband, Scottish-born Jack Beck, leave the Snake Pit of her current job to find a quiet, more relaxed life. Their search leads them to a struggling Virginia coal-mining town and a wonderful "old" house that seems perfect. They soon find that they are ill prepared for the logistics of their endeavor , but with grace and good old-fashioned chutzpah they soldier on. As they struggle to build inventory, they find friends and a few foes that help them in their journey. Wendy Welch tells their story with humor,... more candor and love. This book makes me want to continue to support my local businesses and wish for a used bookstore, like Tales of the Lonesome Pine, in my hometown.
review 2: LOVED this book and anyone who enjoys visiting bookstores (used or new) would enjoy it too. I liked her talking about growing their collection and how humor eventually ended up in the bathroom (seriously!).I thought Wendy did a great job of introducing the characters of the Gap and you can tell that she loves them, even if they have their foibles. I got shivers when she talked about Wee Willie and his daughter. Would love to meet Beulah myself! less
