Cozy, browsable bookstore in downtown Woodstock. Wonderful selection of regional books, children’s books, fiction and gifts. If you are looking for a book recommendation, the staff is happy to provide one. Aisles are narrow, so watch kids if you bring them. Parallel parking immediately in from of the store. Steps up from sidewalk to store entry. They also have a selection of vinyl records. I will definitely come back when I’m in Woodstock.

This place is such a gem. For being on the smaller side it has a truly impressive selection. I went to several bookstores on my trip through New England and this was without doubt my favorite. Highly recommend! Had to come back to update my review.. One of my purchases here was a 'staff pick', North Woods by Daniel Mason. I had no idea at the time how perfectly fitting this book would be. I had the good fortune of being able to enjoy several hikes and even some apple picking on the trip, and reading this book now transports me 2000 miles northeast of my home and back to that stunningly gorgeous part of the country. I cannot imagine a better and more lasting reminder of my time up there, and I owe it all to this shop and the wonderful people who work there, along with Mr. Mason of course. My point is, trust these people, they know their trade well.

You can browse through the store. I bought a graphic book of Animal Farm by George Orwell.

Great little independent bookshop in the heart of the beautiful town of Woodstock, VT. There are a well curated selection of books with something everyone can enjoy, including a section of local history and other non-fiction books, an adorable and fantastic selection of kids & young adult books, and a lovely range of romance books. The employees were all helpful and kind, and the store is dog friendly which was a bonus (as we brought our pup on our trip). There are also greeting cards, stickers, candles, and other non-book bookish accessories. Overall, fantastic little store - highly recommend for anyone visiting the area.
