Northshire Bookstore ReviewReviewed By... Alden GravesDuets featuring some of country music's legendary voices with my all-time favorite male country singer.

Alden Graves
 A native Vermonter, Alden works in the music department at the Northshire.
He is also in charge of the DVDs and tries very hard to have titles that customers might not readily find elsewhere. He loves film, especially ones that have either trains or Elizabeth Taylor in them. Alden contributes a weekly column on the movies to the Bennington Banner. His other interests include shipwrecks, Jack the Ripper, Peggy Lee, and real country music. Other staff members at the Northshire are very tolerant as he rambles on about the Andrea Doria and they probably know a lot more about the Ripper than they ever thought they would.
