Should
economic conditions improve in the future,
we hope to reopen our book shop.
It has been a pleasure being on Main Street in Chatham,
Virginia.
We like to think we've helped perk up Chatham &
will continue to try to make our windows attractive
so that we don't look like another empty storefront.
Again, our sincere appreciation for your business.
