Worcester Telegram & Gazette

Every other week, we’ll be asking local bookstores what their customers have been picking up in the preceding month. Some of them will be best-seller lists, others will be lists of some of the more interesting selections, but all of them are a representation of What Worcester’s Reading. This week’s featured store is Root & Press.
