He had answered my phone questions but after hanging up went on to check to see if he could offer me anything more. And he did! Over and above!! Thank you!

My only hang up with this store, which may not necessarily be their fault, is it is expensive. They do have a great selection of canoes and yaks.

Complete selection of Thule and Yakima racks. Also, great selection of outdoor/mountain clothing, footwear, books, and hardware for cooking and climbing. No bicycle stuff, but that's pretty well covered by other stores in the Amherst/Northampton/Hadley area. Prices are normal, not super discount and not like a boutique shop either. We bought two kayaks there and they were good with the price. Been back many times. I prefer them over EMS because the have a bigger selection, and because when you buy there you're supporting a local business instead of a national chain.

There is a guy there that does not have very good phone manners (says things like "uhh I have no clue what you're sayin" instead of "could you repeat that", for example), but other than that, I have nothing but good things to say about this store. Example: Another store sent over a wrong part, which was not the fault of this particular store. The manager (Dave S.) felt so sorry that he immediately did every single thing imaginable to correct this mistake and to deliver the correct part as soon as possible. He truly knows customer service.

But we were BLOWN AWAY by how good the bookstore was. This isn't just a museum gift shop. It's a high density, quality book store with a VERY knowledgeable staff. I walked in intending to buy a couple books because I felt that our reading selection at home was a bit lacking and walked out with recommendations from the staff that have been my kids favorites ever since, now six months past. Eliza and Sarah were incredibly helpful. Sarah talked to my daughter for maybe 20 minutes, asking what she was interested in and suggesting books that might fit the bill and telling us about them. I wish I wrote them all down. When we left, we had a bunch of great books, a bunch I wanted to get next time, and this Eric Carle folding chair my two year old was carrying all around the store while the staff helped us. We ended up getting a second one because they both loved it. I highly recommend this local bookstore independently of the museum. If you need to get an age appropriate book as a gift and want it to be a homerun or even targeted on a topic for your young reader, or if you want to expand your selection and don't want to do a bunch of research or accidentally buy some duds with pretty front covers, The Carle Bookshop is an excellent choice.

Imagine you're putting on a fair, and while attendees from all over the world and campuses attend,…read morethe stars are local gifts given a new life to be sold or resold here, at the Fisher Home Hospice Shop. That is the Fisher Home Hospice Shop: a marvelous showroom of timeless artifacts, clothes, books, games, and necessities that you might overlook or fail to live without. Let me give you a nice laundry list of my purchase of a tidy litany of needs, all for under a hundred dollars: Relevant literature/books for me, my new favorite clutch purse bag, snow gloves, two phone holders for vehicles, fine clothing for me and my family, household staples like notepads or three ring binder punches, and for sure my list could go on. Let's stop saying that the money you pay for these is too much or too little and instead look to what your purchase does: it funds the Fisher Hospice Home. This isn't your typical 'store,' and would be more fair to call it a non-profit venture. Volunteers maintain the store floor, swap out goods seasonally, review donations, and they all work as volunteers, for gratuity alone. The love they spend on what visitors might like is obvious, from their childrens' toy section, to their miniature library, to the household goods section. The space is maintained, full of light, and is accessible. What might challenge you is that what you find here is going to be more personal to you, instead of some wide class you happen to be a part of. That is what happens when you merchandise in timeless necessities--you would just as likely find a selfie stick here as you might find typewriter paper. What you leave with is actually liberating: there's no tracker of your behavior as a consumer, there's no brand loyalty that you're analyzed for, you're just a local shopper. Perhaps that's why the Fisher Home Hospice Shop feels like any internationally savvy visitor would visit, because what strikes you might be as surprising as any other bargain reseller, like Marshalls or TJ Maxx. Here, it's local, it's for a cause, and it's open to the public. A former friend recommended I visit the Fisher Home Hospice Shop, and I now regret I thought their advice meant I would only visit once! :)
