Abstract:

The Battery Park Book Exchange is an eclectic bookstore located in Asheville's Grove Arcade. Customers can enjoy wine, champagne, coffee, or snacks as they wander through the 30,000-volume bookstore. Thomas Wright, who had a long career in industrial chemical manufacturing and restaurant management, wanted to do something different, and in 2004 he bought a bookstore in Little Switzerland. In 2009 he opened his present store in the Battery Park Hotel and in 2011 moved it to its current location.
