Politics and Prose (sometimes stylized as Politics & Prose or abbreviated as P&P) is an independent bookstore whose main location is in Chevy Chase, Washington, D.C., on Connecticut Avenue.
They have two other locations in the DC area. One of which is in Union Market, which is near the NoMA-Gallaudet Metro station. The other location is at the Wharf, which is near the Waterfront Metro Station. [1]
It was founded in 1984 by Carla Cohen and Barbara Meade. They expanded it fivefold to its present size. After a failed sale attempt in 2005, they sold it to Bradley Graham and Lissa Muscatine in 2011.
Its author events attract famous speakers, such as Bill Clinton and J.K. Rowling.
