Arpaia, business partner David Klett and his team did raise the bar, though, when they started fresh in Rocky Hill’s Old Main Village last month.

When I attend book fairs, I always stop by their booth. This particular catalogue is author-specific, offering the John Davies collection of first editions of Mark Twain.
