Bestselling Books of 2021 at East End Bookstores

In spite of the digital sales juggernaut, local brick-and-mortar booksellers continue to thrive in the Hamptons and North Fork, and that’s because our community continues to read! We asked some of our favorite bookstores what books sold the most this month and in 2021, and they happily supplied their top three bestsellers for both — take a look and see if any of them might pique you interest to read by the fire this holiday season.
