YOU NEVER KNOW WHERE YOU'LL FIND US

This past weekend, I was at the information desk when Sarah Pickup-Diligenti, the Education Director of the Alliance Française, came in to pick up a book she had ordered. When I handed it to her, I heard the most extraordinary tale:

The story began with a compliment, that Politics and Prose had been her lifeline ever since she arrived in Washington from her native France 14 years ago. An incurable bibliophile, she had become anxious about what she would do for books when she came to our city. One day shortly before her departure from Colomiers, a town outside Toulouse, she went to pick up her five-year-old son at his local judo class. Another young boy was there wearing a colorful T-shirt with the words "So Many Books, So Little Time" across the front. On the back, of course, was Politics and Prose Bookstore, Washington D.C. Immediately, she knew what her first stop in Washington would be, and she's been back countless times since then.

Help Politics and Prose go global by putting a T-shirt in your bag wherever you go! Buy a t-shirt online through this link or come into the store to shop our selection. And if you send us a photo of our T-shirt in some foreign land, we'll put it on our website!
