Owners Henry Zook and Mary Gannett opened their Cobble Hill bookshop in 1981 and ever since, it has been a family-friendly place to scoop up titles by local authors, both fiction and nonfiction. A separate children's room has a great selection of books for kids, tweens and teens. Readings and school and community events also take place in the store.
