Our Book Club usually meets on the third Tuesday of the month. Relax with a good book — and then join us for a lively and engaging discussion. Everyone is welcome to participate, whether you enjoyed the book or not, and even if you haven’t finished it.
Multiple copies of our selections are usually available at the Princeton Public Library on the “Book Club” shelves. Or you can purchase the book from Amazon.

On Tuesday, July 21, at 7:30 pm we’ll meet via Zoom to discuss:
When Women Ran Fifth Avenue by Julie Satow
“Julie Satow has written a group biography of the department-store doyennes who ran the show — and these places in their heyday really were a form of theater…She nimbly braids together the stories of Hortense Odlum of Bonwit, which moved locations but basically disappeared by 2000; Geraldine Stutz of Henri Bendel, shuttered since 2019; and Dorothy Shaver of Lord & Taylor, which after slow decline was delivered a definitive death blow by the pandemic…Each might not have sustained a biography of her own…Considered in aggregate, they are a force. You can imagine them milling around the great perfume counter in the sky.” (New York Times)
To RSVP, and for more details, email louise@sandsmith.com
If you’d like your name removed from our email list, please let me know, but please remember that all other Book Club business should be sent to Louise.
Be safe! Stay well!
Regards,
