Jaywil's Book Store - 224 W Church St
A large store devoted to new editions and textbooks, Jaywil's also has an active personal order business. Nearly 7,000 titles on a wide range of subjects are in stock. Regular shipments arrive from Britain and the Continent. The majority of their business is with Missituk's faculty and student body. Malvina Jaywil, 56, is the crusty, formidable, and very intelligent bibliophile owner. Open 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., including lunch hour, Monday-Friday.
The year 1955 sees the publication of Tennessee Williams' Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Herman Wouk's Marjorie Morningstar and Vladimir Nabokov's Lolita (the latter's widespread ban included importation into the United States). In 1956, Jaywil's will offer O'Neill's Long Day's Journey Into Night, Miller's A Devil in Paradise, and Grace Metalious' Peyton Place.
