I can't believe no one has reviewed this book store ever in all the years it has been around? This…read moreis one of Vermont's best kept literary secrets. It's an old brick farmhouse where the woman who owns the place, a long-time local, has collected books for decades and converted all the rooms on the first floor into a shop. Feel free to chat with her in the kitchen as she's very friendly and interesting. The selection of books is extensive and well-organized. It is jam packed with good stuff so plan on spending a while. She is only open for a 3 hour slot from 2-5pm Tues-Sat so you have to plan ahead. I used to go in there as a little kid and never get sick of going back when I am visiting Vermont. It feels like a remnant of an era since lost--pure Vermont. She also has a decent Vermont history section if interested.

We were disappointed in this "book" store. Perhaps we were thrown off by the name.

It seemed to be more geared toward games, toys, video games and graphic novels. We were in and out in no time, and we normally spend a good deal of time in bookstores. There was nothing in there of interest to anyone in our family. If you are into gaming or graphic novels, this is your place.

Eight years after our first visit, we're back here in the time of the pandemic and were cheered,…read morefirst of all, too see this independent bookstore is open for business. We like the owner and we feel she's got a pretty good stock of new and some used books along with a very nice children's area (play space and books). It's a welcome stop in this part of Vermont (the Northeast Kingdom) and makes us happy. We're upgrading them to four stars although that's not so much of a change in the store as a change of our mind. We want to encourage local businesses at this awful time in our history. We can do so with an open heart here.

The ladies running the counter are nice and leave you to look on your own, but they're there if you need them. They claim to be a new and used bookstore. I didn't see any used books mixed into where I was looking, which meant all prices were normal for a new bookstore. Overall a wonderful visit and a great local bookstore!

It meets all my "perfect bookstore" criteria. 1) It has both new and used books. 2) It has comfy chairs to relax in. 3) It has a wide and varied selection of books. 4) It has a restroom. 5) The prices are extremely reasonable. I will definitely become a regular at this bookstore!

Great bookstore. Clean, huge selection, helpful and friendly staff…read more Less than great coffee spot. The questionably bearded guy working the Starbucks looked me dead in the eyes, didn't say a word, walked away, and proceeded to flirt with his coworker instead of help me standing at the counter.
