The definition of a cozy bookstore. I walked in and loved taking a look around! It's not a huge…read moreshop, but it definitely fits the vibe of the town well, and is worth taking a break to look around in. Only minor complaint is that there's nowhere to sit if you wanted to take a pause and read something for a bit, but the space is on the smaller side, so I understand why that might not be practical for them.

They had such a wide array of books, and inreceived so many recommendations from people, it was fantastic. I absolutely loved the vibe and their mascot! I got 3 books for under $50 so it was definitely a bit of a splurge, but I'm quite happy with my choices.

Kira is a fabulous guide without being too in the way-a fine balance that is not easy to strike. We recently cross recommended books to each other because the Experience there is about being a reader. Kira provides opportunities for her customers and we in turn are able to make purchases and sometimes have conversations which make for quite a Meaningful experience. The most recent recommendation was Little by Edward Carey. Kira was so thoughtful in hearing my interests and hope for a "good read" - she made a great suggestion to "not read the back cover summary " and went so for as to cover it (quite neatly). For this I am grateful as the summary would not have inspired me as much as the book itself did and it may have deterred my buying it. This book engaged me in a way I did it anticipate - a must read. There is not algorithm for this online - I am an exclusive bookstore shopper and will return again and again to Merritt Bookstore when I am in the area. Thank you Kira!

There is a great selection on hand and they will order whatever you want. It is also a great place to bring kids......a good selection of books for them plus they make them feel welcome to sit and read or play. The book club, greeting cards and other carefully thought out products are on hand so you can treat yourself while you shop for the perfect book or build a gift basket for a gift. Another fantastic aspect of the store is the Antique Shop that shares the space. One never knows what kinds of treasures lurk on the shelves.......estate jewelry, art glass, furniture, paintings, vintage knick knacks, country furnishings and eclectic whatnots. A real destination to spend an hour, two or more whenever you're in Pawling.

This business has an old-school feel for sure, looking at the decor and taking in the original structure all around, is fun to look at. I'm sure there have been some touches here and there. Another feel for sure is, that it's nothing like B&N's and a libery, you'll see. The selections for the most part including the antiques had quite a variety and interesting ones. Anyone who's a geek in all of this, expect to be in the Cove for a long time. Service was very decent, along with one worker saying hello and how are you doing? It's rare to see that nowadays, and needs to become a big trend once again. When I'm in Pawling again, I'll be sure to make this stop again.

Their tie dye collection is severely lacking compared to Groovy Blueberry, and their prices are the same. It's just a much smaller shop, with a head shop in the back. Kinda feels like any other run of the mill hippie/head shop, and doesn't feel like it's super authentic to New Paltz. Has some good tapestries and incense and kids toys, stuff like that. Good if you're not seriously interested in tie dye. Stars removed for the clerk spreading drama.
