The travel-literature section stocks a unique selection of books. To enjoy them, you can grab a free cup of herbal tea and take a seat on the turquoise-carpeted steps to the back. If you are looking for fellow literature lovers, you might want to join the Chapters book club. Led by the owners, this group meets once a month to discuss a book written by an author reading that night. This shop, a five-minute walk from the Takoma Metro, has a simple rectangular layout.
Books line two walls of the narrow space.
A walk to the center of the store brings you to a haven of discounts, stacks of them on five large tables. If you are looking for classics, Chuck and Dave's stocks a few. On one recent visit, for example, there were four Margaret Atwood novels and only one Jane Austen on the shelves. Fiction makes up about a third of the titles here. Look for the several dozen staff-recommended books.
