So, where is home?

Posted by Fred Steiner on July 17, 2010 - 10:43am

By Joanne Niswander

In a couple of weeks I will be back home.

Home in Bluffton.

But where have I really been for the past month and a half? Hasn't this house on Cape Cod been home, too? How do I explain a feeling of "place" that means more than one place?' I have felt very much "at home" here at Woods Hole. The surroundings and the people are different from those I left behind in Bluffton the first of June, but it's been home nevertheless. Some things are different, but I find many things to feel the same.

Book Reviews opens in larger store front on South Main

Books for sale outside the shop

You may not be able to tell a good book by its cover, but you certainly can identify a good used book store when you see one.

Bluffton has such a gem. Book ReViews has officially moved from 115 N. Main to 123 S. Main St., and according to Ruth Unrau, the new space is much larger than the previous one.

The shop offers "thousands of books," according to Unrau, who has yet to unpack all the books that have moved to the new location.

Store hours are 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Mondays through Fridays and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturdays.
