I drove by here early in the day. I was heading North and knew Id be passing back by on my way…read moreback South. When I passed by in the morning it wasn't open, but even then there were books outside just calling out to be perused. So upon my return, some 7 hours later, I stopped in. Easy parking out front. It's huge. Books for days. These are used books, and many are in great shape, and priced accordingly. This isn't the cheapest used bookstore I've come across, but I think it's the most extensive. I wasn't looking for anything specific so didn't ask for anything. But I spent time in the cookbook and travel book sections. Huge. So many to choose from. Many decades of choices, including recent, especially important in the travel book section. I found the pricing a little higher than I expected, but I picked up some books anyway. Used bookstores keep books relevant and out of landfills both. Gotta love that.

Middlebury is known for its elite college- Middlebury College students and families, tourists and locals I am sure continue to contribute to the legacy and survival of this small brick and mortar store's success since the 1970s. *Famous Bestselling Author Martin Cruz Smith-"Gorky Park" and his family could be seen here browsing and shopping periodically in the 1970s, 80s, 90s, 2000s... Many of the Middlebury College Professors including Bestselling Author Julia Alvarez "How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents" and "In the Time of the Butterflies" plus many other books that have been made into movies and focus on Dominican and Dominican-American culture, history, and experiences. Ms. Alvarez lives locally and frequently publishes and often autographs newly published releases which are featured and sold at this bookshop. Also local Children's Author and Illustrator Ashley Wolff also features her books here..."Baby Bear Sees Blue" in the Children's Section. The store also offers unique gifts, cards, and has a nice children's section.

My only desire would be for a little more comprehensive history section. I know they already have a Vermont section, but a bit more robust choices in the two would really set them apart.

I just have one note for Crow Bookshop, "amazing." I love a good independent bookstore, and this…read moreone is so good. It's chock full of books including some used books, kids books, etc. I really enjoyed the categorization of the books, which may sound weird, but as a former librarian I notice these types of things. The shelves stretch from floor to ceiling and it gives the coziest Beauty and the Beast library vibes. The person working at the register was very kind and friendly and I ended up buying a cute constellation guide. We had fun browsing and I saw so many great books, I just wish I had more suitcase space to have purchased more. I will definitely be stopping by again the next time I'm in town.

You're immersed in the sweet perfume of books as soon as you walk in. There are piles upon piles,…read morean improbably large number crammed into this small bookstore, the cacophony recalling a wild, lushly overgrown garden -- or perhaps a cheerier version of the bookstore in "The Neverending Story." It's just (dis)organized enough to maximize your browsing enjoyment. You stumble across unexpected delights in the many nooks and crannies! But if you're looking for a specific something, the kind owners are immediately there to assist... and expound upon similar reads you might enjoy. They're like living, breathing Spotify playlist curators for books. Good ones. Tempest also carries puzzles and a massive selection of movies on DVD. What's on display in the store is only the tip of the iceberg. The rest of the iceberg lives in the owners' garage, we're told -- but they're happy to dig out whatever you request. Sadly, we're only in the area for a few weeks of the year. Most of our time is devoted to skiing and on the days when skiing isn't ideal, seeing friends. But next December, I vow to (1) set aside a full day for a proper browse and chat with the fascinating, brilliant, and well-read owners; and (2) do all our holiday shopping here. This store is a true treasure, clearly a labor of love.
