The message reads, ''"Dear Vic — The car ran beautifully coming home and we got home before dark, even stopping off at this tea room, called the "Book Barn." It is an old barn that someone has fixed up by putting in a fireplace and lining it with plaster board between the beams, but so all the hand hewn beams sow, and there are books everywhere. You'd love it."'' ]] | [[File:Book-Barn-Tea-Room-Ridegefield-CT-interior-RPPC-postcard-back.jpg|center|600px|thumb|The Book Barn Tea Room and Book Shop, Riegefield, Connecticut, interior, RPPC, postcard back.
