Black Walnut Books

This is the most darling little book shop. Beautiful, inviting, and thoughtfully curated. Hillary (the owner) seems to have read just about every book under the sun, is so sweet and smart, and gives great recommendations - I intended to buy 1 book and ended up getting 3, since Hillary gave them such glowing reviews! Plus there are cute stickers, pins, bags, and more - even some handmade glass trinkets from an artist who also sells in the Shirt Factory. If you’re in the area, definitely visit this spot. And if you aren’t in the area, they also have a great book club that you can receive by mail!

Absolutely the most amazing book store! Queer, BIPOC and more. The owner, Hillary is so knowledgeable about books and the Shirt Factory itself. She opened the store for us after contacting her letting her know we’d be in Glens Falls on a day she wasn’t opened. She came and opened the store for us! We were blown away by the hospitality and the knowledge she shared. She’s a true bibliophile. We bought books, stickers and pins. What a great shop!

So happy I finally made the trek out to Glens Falls and got to visit this amazing bookstore! The selection is wide ranging and full of books you’ve seen around as well as new to you options, and Hillary is so knowledgeable and full of recommendations. Make your way out to this bookstore, it’s worth the trip!

This indie bookstore is not only the perfect place to decolonize your bookshelf, it is also the cutest little book nook! Filled to the brim with wonderful books and colorful things, you can't help but explore every single surface for tiny treasures. The owner's partner was working the shop when I visited, it was nice to connect with a fellow book lover. I felt welcomed and given space to explore. Please make the effort to visit and support this unique and amazing bookstore!
