"Two households, both alike in dignity..." Barner Books is located right across the street from Inquiring Minds, another bookseller, but let's just say that Barner is the Capulet to Inquiring Minds' Montague - that being said, I prefer this one better. Both are quite similar in terms of size, but Barner's selection is a bit more well organized and curated, and also includes a fantastic selection of gifts, like art prints, handmade journals, and even quirky enamel pins! I loved the "Bookstore Cat" one, and wanted to get it, but had already shelled out some money for a pin at Rock Candy Vintage up the street. Ah, well! Next time! Barner Books came to us on a recommendation from fellow Hudson Valley Yelper Bill Z. (be sure to read his awesome review, as well!), and I am so glad we got a chance to stop in before they closed up shop for the day. My boyfriend and I had an abbreviated visit, but it was a lovely one nonetheless, and of course, whet our appetite for future returns! We even got the chance to meet the owner, who was gracious and chatty, and let us browse past closing time. I can't recommend this store enough - it is definitely on our list from now on for must-visits in New Paltz!

Really an excellent used bookstore. They have a fairly extensive inventory, especially in fiction, with some real depth and diversity. Books are all generally in good or very good condition or better. Overall, the store is clean and the books are very well organized and tidily displayed on the shelves, so browsing is a real pleasure. Staff person on my last visit was very friendly and happy to respond to questions. Prices are not cheap, but reasonable, especially given the very good condition of the books. I try to stop by every time I'm in New Paltz.
