"My all-time favorite book is 'The Worst Journey in the World' by Apsley Cherry-Garrard. It's an incredible tale of friendship and survival in the face of adversity. Cherry-Garrard's deep passion for Antarctica and the camaraderie of Robert Falcon Scott and his team make this Antarctic expedition my personal favorite to explore. Despite their tragic end, they demonstrated the power of true friendship. This book has had a profound impact on my life, and I find similar joy in being surrounded by books and the wonderful people who frequent our store."
