The truth is, there's never been a Maria who's worked at Maria's Bookshop. To compensate, we ensure that the non-Marias who work here are friendly people with a wide range of experiences. We've been teachers, engineers, flyfishermen, waitresses, spa salesmen, ski instructors, ice-cream salespeople, river runners, and park rangers. We are mycophiles, cinephiles, naturalists, Beats, and feminists. And, obviously, bibliophiles.

Stop in the shop, and we'll help you find the right book for you. For a sense of what we each like to read, click on our names below.
