Lord knows, I’ve got enough to read, but here are a couple of acquisitions from my most recent bookstore expedition, to The Next Chapter LI in Huntington, NY. The Next Chapter emerged from the vacuum left by the closing in 2021 of the Book Revue, a Long Island destination for 44 years. The new store is run by former employees of the old, with advice from one of the Book Revue founders. Honestly impressed with the new store, which seems to have distilled all the best bits from the old. A nice addition: several racks of tantalizing LPs, nicely curated and heavy on the classical, with a listening station. Generous hours (basically my entire waking day). Too bad I didn’t have the Franck book in time for the composer’s bicentennial last year!
