Eight Cousins Children's Books, in Falmouth, Mass., is about to celebrate its twentieth anniversary. To honor the occasion, owner Carol Chittenden decided to give a sculpture to the town - 0ne that would leave a lasting impression and "celebrate the community of readers". She asked Sarah to design a chair that looked as though it was draped with letters of the alphabet. Two years later, The Alphabet Chair (a.k.a. Alphabet Throne) was unveiled.

Eight Cousins is a wonderful bookstore. The staff is warm and knowledgeable about their books and there is always something creative going on. It is not only a kid-friendly place, but it is also dog-friendly. One can always find a water bowl and dog biscuits right by The Alphabet Chair (The Chair even has a discreet cup holder for those who want to sit for a while and read with their dog).

The Chair attracts readers small and large to Eight Cousins. Children can't help but climb on it. The textures work as a puzzle that most people find irresistible. Passersby will even come into the bookstore because they "can't figure out what that last letter is"
