I'm a sucker for a local bookstore and White Birch Books did not disappoint! I loved the entire kids section upstairs, my son had the best time browsing around. They had a solid selection of things for kids of all ages. We ended up leaving with a Narwhal and Jelly stuffy as well as some books. The adult section was lovely as well and I loved reading more about all the staff picks. They also have a large parking lot which is a big bonus on this busy strip. read more

The vibes in here were amazing! I had this place on my list for when I stopped through NH and I wish I'd had more time to sit and enjoy. They had a cute little reading area and really nicely labeled sections. Staff wasn't pushy or hovering which is always appreciated. read more

Great local bookstore. Not a huge place but had a really nice selection of fiction and a even a nice little discount rack. The sort of bookstore you'd love to have in your town, wherever you live. read more

Great little independent bookstore! Fantastic selection of unique cards, some interesting gift items, and loads of great books with many handwritten recommendations and reviews to help your decision making. Friendly at the register and a cute children's area upstairs. read more

Truly a one of a kind book store. A must visit if you enjoy reading. They have a little bit of everything for everyone.

A must stop at local bookstore if you're in or near the area! I'm a total lover of indie bookstores and this one definitely didn't disappoint. It's a little out of the way from the main town (maybe an extra 2 minute walk?) but well worth it! Inside you'll be greeted by friendly staff and that overwhelming "new book" smell that you can't help but love. Their collection of books is great and includes autographed copies from different authors in addition to novels by local artists! The store also has a great selection of little gifts and cards for those that are maybe harder to shop for. Overall - adorable place with a great selection and incredibly kind staff! Come visit! read more

The address on Yelp for this place is not correct. It is not on Main St. It is on White Mountain Highway. My bf and I drove 20 min from our Inn only to realize it was the wrong address and it was in fact a 2 min drive from where we were staying. Besides that, I really liked this place. It is very quaint, lots of great reads. Very cozy. I'm a book lover so i could easily spend all day in here. read more

While White Birch Books is set off the road a bit and may be hard to see, it's definitely worth seeking out. I usually stop in while in the area and the staff has been nothing but friendly. It has a warm, welcoming feel. While not a frequent shopper, I signed up for the frequent shopper club a few years back and it has more than paid for itself. They frequently host local authors and it would be unusual to visit and not find autographed copies of their books for sale. They have a larger selection than many big stores three times their size and I really love all of the "staff picks" with explanations about the book that you can find all around the store. If you are a reader, it's definitely worth a stop. read more

Cute shop that has a floor and a quarter (small annex upstairs with non fiction and a maps/travel section). There is a strong showing of local authors and subjects including a really cool "Haunted Hikes" book that looked interesting and lots of local photographs. Strong fiction and children's sections with some really cool toys in there. I almost bought myself a pocket kite until I remembered that I always break those types of things :) read more

Here's a delightful independent bookstore nestled into a quiet spot off the traffic-heavy center of North Conway. It's a store in an attractive two-story house that "feels" good for those of us who love books and believe strongly in independent stores and their independent owners. It has a pretty good selection for a small store -- it's weakest on nonfiction areas like history and biography -- but we loved the cookbooks, the local books and the staff/customer recommendations. It's obvious the folks who use this store regularly love it. There's a comfy seating area, and you get the feeling that it's ok to sit down a read; no one shoos you out. We wish the owners well; we loved our visit. read more

Got to give shout outs to the independent book stores remaining and this one does deserve the shout out. I especially like how they have staff recommendations with placards on the books with the staff's comments. read more

This independent book store is an oasis in a desert of big box chains. The atmosphere is lovely and you can spend hours looking at everything. Fine wooden bookcases invite you in. The modern and whimsical journals, address books and stationary beg to be handled. There is a great loft for the kids' section, which includes used books in great condition. I really liked their collection of local paper goods and gifts. read more

Blink and you'll miss this independent book store located amidst a ton of gaudy signs advertising tourist traps in downtown North Conway (and I say that with love because we all enjoy those stores). The store is very dignified, and has a nice selection of books, especially books for children. I love independent book stores, and this place is great to browse. As with most stores during peak months in North Conway, it can get crowded, but not as much as other stores- there's a certain amount of respect; no one will push you aside to see a book display. Prices are what you'd find anywhere for books, and they have some other items that seem a little pricier than I'd like to pay. If you like to read, you must check this store out. It won't blow you away compared to other independent book stores, but it's very nice for what it is. read more

This indie bookstore is such a delight! Wonderful ambience, wide ranging selection and a great layout. The staff was friendly and very helpful. Definitely a must stop for book lovers of all ages! read more

Cute medium sized bookstore on the edge of town in North Conway. I was impressed with the rather large selection, which extends upstairs. There were a few things that I was looking into buying, including some nicely designed reusable bags. Worth checking out if youre looking for a book in the area. read more

White Birch Books is a quaint, independent bookstore I was excited to visit for a book to relax with after completing the Presidential Traverse hike. It's well-organized and despite its small size has a great selection. Many of the books have handwritten synopses by the employees to help with your selection. I picked a couple of hard backed books that had been on my radar as I always strive to support these independent booksellers. Making my way to checkout, I stopped by the commentary, biography section. There, sadly, was a comprehensive collection of liberal, anti-Trump, socialist tomes. No Mark Levin (American Marxim- the#1 book in the country), Jesse Watters, Ben Shapiro or any hint of a conservative author. The Obama's books were of course well-represented. I quietly put the books I had chosen back on the shelf and walked out empty handed. I have no ill will towards White Birch Books and wish them the best. But I couldn't in good conscious spend my money there. read more

Great bookstore. Comfy seating for resting. Helpful staff. Very eclectic selection of new books and some used books in very good condition. Bargain items and kids section is upstairs. Nice gift options as well. Not having option overload like I get at the big bookstores helped me find a few great books outside of my normal assortment of authors. read more

I can't believe there is only one other review for this place. It's beautiful. From the outside it looks like it would be a musty used bookstore, but the inside is a perfect place to browse and read. The shelves were well marked and clean with helpful staff recommendation notes on many. Contrary to the chains, there are actually chairs (and comfortable ones) to sit and read. The staff were very helpful. Highly recommended. read more

I love cute little independent book stores and this one is adorable. I'm not from the area, so I wouldn't be able to order anything if I wanted, but still I really enjoyed the customer service aspect of retail over blindly clicking and it appearing on my doorstep 48 hours later (amazon is a beautiful cruel mistress). I overheard the clerk trying to find a book for a customer on the phone. She found the book he was looking for (don't remember the name, but that it seemed like an oddball publisher) and gave him the dates in which they get shipments from that publisher, when he should expect it in, and so forth. Awesome levels of customer service. I bought a new book I had been eye balling for a while (wound up being on the clearance rack. Woooo!) and a new wooden book mark. All in all had a fun time! read more
