I visited here again recently and this place is still just as magical! It's tucked away in the…read morewoods and is chock full of immeasurable charm. The owner is English and her business is an extension of her lovely personality. I have childhood memories of this place that could have come straight out of a magical fairytale book. There are many categories here; a large history section, gardening, art, film, geography, mythology, crafts, so many categories and subcategories, and because they are curated by someone passionate with books there are no filler books here. The prices are unbelievably reasonable, this is a curated collection by a woman passionate about books, making a living off of it feels secondary here to the passion of finding the books. You will not ever find another place like this. In a small rural town no less! This is a destination place if you are visiting the area. Such a gem!

A small bookstore with a great selection of books. They also serve wine, which is a nice touch. We…read morebought three history books. The service was good . We were greeted as soon as we walked in. Overall, it's a lovely little bookstore.

I have never in my life come across a more vile or villainous shopkeeper. I am truly at a loss for…read morewords to describe their awful attitude. We were not greeted upon entering even though we passed by their work area as we came in. They treated me with disdain as I asked for information, and my follow up question about local authors was scoffed at, one would think a local book seller would be proud to flaunt their local authors. I travel across the country visiting small independent bookstores and always buy something to show support; I would never give this bookstore even 1 penny. Even if the treatment of potential costumers was even slightly improved, as others have noted, there's not a great selection and there is definitely not a welcoming, comfortable atmosphere.

There are multiple self-serve sheds on the property to explore that are filled to the brim with 1000s of books, all for $1 or less. There are also a ton of DVDs, vinyls, and even sheet music.

Just be sure to check their website or call before you go, to make sure it's open, and note that it's closed in the wintry weather. Also, there is no heat in the sheds, so bundle up!

If it sounds eclectic and usual, you're right - but rest assured all are executed with equal excellence.

Relaxed fine dining and fun and so close to the riverfront park in Coxsackie.

We stopped into Shipwreck News, Books & Café after checking into the James Newbury Hotel because it…read morewas the only place open for lunch. The café is very small, with just four counter seats and four small tables, and it's undeniably cute inside. I was especially excited to see a vegan sandwich on the menu. After we were seated, our drink order was taken. Unfortunately, they didn't have iced coffee, lemon for tea, or any diet soda, so we settled for a regular soda and a black tea. Once our drinks were ordered, we were told we had to get up and order our food at the bar, which felt a little odd after being seated and waited on initially. I ordered the vegan sandwich, and my husband had the biscuits and gravy with scrambled eggs. The food took a while to arrive. As soon as I saw my sandwich, I knew I'd made the wrong choice. It consisted of sautéed kale, a chickpea patty, vegan cheese that looked and tasted like Velveeta, and a single slice of tomato that cost an extra $2. The sandwich was completely flavorless and honestly disappointing. My husband's biscuits and gravy weren't much better. They were so overloaded with black pepper that his nose ran through the entire meal. It's too bad some of that seasoning didn't make its way onto the vegan sandwich! When we finished, we had to get up once again to pay the bill. Overall, the service felt slow and disorganized, with an awkward mix of table service and counter service. It's a very charming little spot with plenty of potential, but the food and service both need significant improvement to create a better customer experience. Unfortunately, this isn't a place we'd be eager to return to.

Esther and David are two very nice, smart people who genuinely love books. They have roughly 20,000…read morevolumes in a barn right next to their house, and you'll usually find one of them there. (They fly a big flag to let you know if they are open.) Always some classical music to listen to as you wander. On the left as you enter are new acquisitions which merge into fiction. In the middle of the room are the art books, poetry, and mysteries. One of the rooms in the back has cook books, all kinds of non fiction and local material. The other has children's books and more nonfiction. It's a bit hit or miss here, but the prices are decent and they often have unannounced sales. "Everything is 30% off today," they will say with a smile. Nice. These two know their books. Like others in the area, they enjoy talking with other book lovers. Really fun. I've not made any huge discoveries here but I have walked out with some lovely reading material, a favorite children's book and a couple of books about baseball. Very pleasant experience here. Easy to find and nice people.
