Claudia
Stemler (right) and Laura Belmonte (left) are cramming bookshelves wherever
they can into their“ brunettes’ bookshopbakery” – in a low swinging door and
into upright support columns. They hope customers will buy  cupcakes and books and talk books while
the pair is baking away in their new shop in the Market on the Fareway
(formerly the “Chestnut Hill Farmers Market”)  Prices for the “gently used” books are $5 for hardbacks and
$4 for trade paperbacks. Since people have been donating books, the brunettes are
not yet accepting trade-ins. Additionally, they are cooking up plans for book-of-the-month
picks and a book club. watch video here
