There is no doubt that you can find treasures that you never even knew existed on the shelves of Caveat. But what happens when we can't find that specific book we want in our own inventory? Shhhh, don't tell, but we still visit our buddies at .books. We are so blessed to have such cool indie bookshop contemporaries. And don't forget to visit and @steves_book_o_rama , too!

Guns, Germs and Steel by Jared Diamond argues that environmental and geographic factors are more important in the "success" of certain peoples than racial or cultural influences. This Pulitzer Prize winner argues that the three titular factors were a part of developing nations success or failure in ways that still impact us. Recently the book has been drawing critics, though, due to some historical inaccuracies. One wonders if that is enough to prove his thesis wrong. Grad this gem from our shelves and decide for yourself!

I was recently contacted by a middle school student in Tim Mattingly's class at the Project School who interviewed me about the history of Caveat Emptor and its role and goals in the community. I was quite impressed by the thoughtful questions that I was presented with. Today, the students toured downtown to visit and learn about the businesses that they wrote about. Here is a link to the project that was done on our little shop: https://sites.google.com/theprojectschool.org/caveatemptor/home

Thank you project school for teaching your students the importance of small businesses in our community's culture.

Find the signs and learn what the students have discovered about our amazing towm.

We recently came across this theory and love this concept. While non-fiction can teach us facts, theories, philosophies, doctrines, and world views, fiction helps us to explore possibility, learn empathy, challenge our current worldview and learn who we are. What are the books that helped you to learn through information and imagination?
