Parentheses Books

Parentheses is Harrisonburg’s indie bookstore. Why Parentheses? They are little containers for words. They’re neat and orderly. (Can we call them cozy?) They’re the literary equivalent of a hug.

Often it’s the best stuff that’s in parentheses. The honest stuff. The funny stuff. The bits and bobs that make the text more interesting, more engaging. And while certainly we care about all the words, there’s something special about the ones in Parentheses.
