You can find a lot of great reads in Ink Fish Books, the new corner book shop in downtown Warren. The shelves are lined with modern classics, like George Saunders’ Lincoln in the Bardo and Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. The shop is clean and bright, and a bibliophile could easily sink into one of the chairs and flip pages all afternoon.
But you’ll also find tables laden with cookbooks – as well as jarred ingredients to putter with, from Mesa Fresca’s chimichurri to pepper shakers from Ocean State Pepper Co.
“I call them ‘book pairings,’” says Lisa Valentino, proprietor of Ink Fish. “It made sense to me that you could pair a book with a food product. And people get it. It’s a lot of fun.” She uses, as an example, cocktail syrups by RI-based Bootblack Brand, which she displays with mixology books. Ink Fish will also host a series of pop-ups and demonstrations.
