A Dolphin Bookshop Exclusive


For a limited time only The Dolphin Bookshop is offering exclusive autographed editions of Jon Meacham's best-selling biography, Thomas Jefferson: The Art of Power. Named one of the best books of the year by The New York Times Book Review, The Washington Post, Entertainment Weekly, The Seattle Times, and the St. Louis Post-Dispatch these signed copies are fantastic gifts for Father's Day (just around the corner!) or any historical buff in your life.

In this magnificent biography, the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of American Lion and Franklin and Winston brings vividly to life an extraordinary man and his remarkable times. Thomas Jefferson: The Art of Power gives us Jefferson the politician and president, a great and complex human being forever engaged in the wars of his era. Philosophers think; politicians maneuver. Jefferson’s genius was that he was both and could do both, often simultaneously. Such is the art of power.

Three years ago, local supporters helped pack books and relocate the shop. For much of its 67-year history, it had been in a strip close to the high school; today, with its fans’ backing, it has found congenial space in a revamped historic building close to the town dock on Manhasset Bay. The area has restaurants and adjoins Sunset Park, which is home to the John Philip Sousa band shell.

With its new vegetarian cafe, free music series, magic shows, funky magnets, and crafty birdhouses for sale in the gardening-book section, the Dolphin captures the artsy aura and sense of community that define Port Washington.
