Spy Merchant Profile: Chestertown Old Book Co.

It is harder than you’d think to select a bookstore in town to feature for our first monthly profile of community merchants. It’s made even more difficult in that Chestertown has three fine downtown sites for bibliophiles, all within a couple hundred feet of each other. The last time we discovered such a grouping of bookstores with knowledgeable staff was on a street in London. Gerry Cataldo and his colleagues at The Chestertown Old Book Co., get the first nod because they publish — as well as sell — some of the most beautiful books in all the world.
