Joseph Fox Bookshop is partnering with Reach Out and Read Greater Philadelphia to further the incorporation of books into pediatric care and encourage families to read aloud together. Donate books from this reading list by purchasing them from Joseph Fox. Joseph Fox Bookshop was established in 1951 as a family-owned and -operated retailer of fine books; literary fiction, nonfiction, architecture, art, poetry, music, small press, and international literature; and books for children of all ages. It has been our joy to bring books to Philadelphia for the past seventy years. We hope to see you in our store sometime soon! 1724 Sansom Street — Philadelphia, PA 19103 Monday–Saturday 10:00–6:00 (215) 563-4184 / mfox@foxbookshop.com Joseph Fox, pictured above, founded the bookshop in 1951. “'What shall I do with all my books?' was the question, and the answer, 'Read them,' sobered the questioner. But if you cannot read them, at the very least handle them and, as it were, fondle them. Peer into them. Let them fall open as they will. Read on from the first sentence that turns the eye. Then turn to another. Make a voyage of discovery, taking soundings of uncharted seas. Set them back on their shelves with your own hands. Arrange them on your own plan, so that if you do not know what is in them, you at least know where they are. If they cannot be your friends, let them at any rate be your acquaintances. If they cannot enter the circle of your life, do not deny them at least a nod of recognition.” ― Winston Churchill, Painting as a Pastime Copyright © 2021, . Theme by Devsaran.
