    Beautiful letterpress card selection
    Lauren K.

    I can't believe this store only has 11 reviews! We stopped in here (with a dog, nonetheless), and loved browsing around. Really excellent selection of new fiction and gender studies. I particularly loved the selection of handmade cards and stationary from local letter presses. I purchased a huge handful which I plan to frame as art and hang on a gallery wall. My two favorites were from locally made letterpresses with Jane Austen and Oscar Wilde quotes. They also had other trinkets for sale, and if I lived nearby, i'd probably come here often to buy unique little gifts for people on the regular. Its not really a place to sit in a read (seems to be the theme in Northampton), and they just have a few chairs spread throughout. If they just added a couple more, it would be nice to sit and read. The 3 chairs I saw were all taken when I was there. Even without the chairs, we'll definitely be back to visit. Broadside is a super convenient stop on the way to several coffee shops and lunch stops, and as I said, they let us bring the dog in, which was most appreciated! They were super nice to him. Broadside is a sweet addition to the downtown Northampton!

    Beautiful local book store with a large selection of books and nick nacks for purchase. Their card selection is outstanding and the staff are helpful. Would recommend.

    3rd stop today on my "Used bookstore trail in MASS" journey. This was the largest book shop I…read morestopped at today, unfortunately, I couldn't find anything interesting to purchase. As other Yelpers have stated, this store is packed with "inventory of every genre and subject", but just nothing for me. On a side note, I'm almost happy I didn't buy anything here today. The clerk was sitting at a desk right near the front entrance, no acknowledgement of me entering or leaving the place. Would it hurt you to say, "Hello" ? Sorry, lack of customers skills irks me a bit. Anyway, got back in the vehicle and headed to the next Used bookstore !

    What took my travels to Grey Matter Books was (besides the promise of books) they have actual road…read moresigns directing you. How, in this day and age with stuff everywhere, they pulled that off, I can't tell you, but it's 100% worth following them. It's an amazing inventory - every genre, every subject seems to be represented. They're used books with the asking price a reduced portion of their cover price, and I honestly could have spent hours and hundreds of dollars. They were all books I didn't know what I want (including one book on a haunted Connecticut house that just appeared on a shelf), and I am glad to add to my To Read collection. The outside is guarded by a gargoyle who seems to work for pine cones and a herd of enclosed ducks. The cashier must be a saint to tolerate the quacking, these are opinionated fowl.

    Booklink is an independent bookstore in Thornes Marketplace in Northampton. It has been at this…read morelocation for 25 years now. This bookstore is so beautifully set up. The upstairs section is children's books. Given that I am an elementary school teacher, I was very impressed by this section. There was a good amount of books I haven't seen before. They have all the book categories you'd find in most bookstores, but books popped out at me that I hadn't seen before, that I'd love to dive into. Their selection of greeting cards was also beautiful. You won't find Hallmark here, but independent maker cards that are worthy of being framed. I was pleasantly surprised that they only charge $3.00 for them. The downstairs will lead you to more non-fiction and fiction for adults. This bookstore also sells a really nice amount of tea. I didn't get any this time. But the line of bottles of loose tea went on forever. They have some books on sale, unfortunately the sale prices are still very close to the retail price. Booklink is such a lovely independent bookstore. You're guaranteed to find something new here!

    Hearing the rational "We are a small independent establishment" to try to justify the creation of…read morenon-reasonable/non-friendly customer service policies is becoming very old. Booklink is an establishment with bothersome and questionable quirks. I visited this seller with the intention of purchasing a specific book. I examined the half dozen copies on the shelf to choose the one that was in the best gift quality condition. A bearded man (owner) suddenly approaches me with "Can I help you? (No, thank you); Do not disrupt our displays (I am not); What exactly are you doing? (My plan is to purchase a book). He walked away, I purchased the book from the associate at the counter, and I immediately felt like a fool for doing so. Never again will I purchase from Booklink. There are other independent bookstores in this town, nearby towns, and of course on-line.
