Ben’s Bookstore

In Franklin, Ben shelves every book by color, one aisle per kind of reader. Here are the same aisles, filled with the books in our Online Book Nook.

General Fiction

Novels that don’t need a genre label: literary, contemporary, and the ones people pass along to a friend.

The names people ask for: King, Patterson, Roberts, Steel, Grisham and many more, shelved by author.

Mystery, romance, thrillers, sci-fi, westerns and the rest of the page-turners.

Self-help, health, diet, relationships and parenting, plus humor and puzzles for lighter days.

History, biography, true crime, science, nature, business and sports: things that really happened.

Faith, spirituality, philosophy and psychology: the big questions, from theology to tarot.

Cooking, crafts, music, film, art and DIY: books about the things people make.

Classics, poetry, language and reference, for people who read for the love of it.

Older books with some years on them: published before 1989, shelved by decade.
