Alas, the line was extremely long and didn't seem to be moving that fast, and the seating was packed. We decided to seek breakfast elsewhere after exploring the books. Since we didn't eat there, this review pertains only to the bookstore. It was very crowded and noisy. The focus here is definitely on fiction, so if that is your thing, you will probably love it. We were hoping for a more comprehensive selection. There were also lots of gift items, puzzles, cards, crafts, etc.

For bibliophiles, Pleasant Street Books is a must see.

This one didn't have many interesting titles (check out the one in Portland, ME if you want a truly huge selection of on sale graphic novels). The store seemed very crowded, and not just with people. Perhaps too close to Christmas as there seemed to be extra displays making the aisles tight and cramped, and then the extra shoppers grabbing last minute gifts didn't help either. I didn't spend nearly as much time as usual browsing because I could see the line was way too long so it'd have to be a must have purchase (which I didn't see anything that warranted that) and people kept bumping into me due to the narrow aisles filled with extra merchandise. Lots of vinyl pops just set up on the floor which seemed odd. Maybe it's better when it's quieter, like on a summer day. Worth stopping though as it's a great chain and has a lot of stuff to offer even if you just want to lazily browse.

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!

Why hasn't changed is that this store is awesome and well worth a visit when you're in town. Kari Meutsch and Kristian Preylowski bought the shop in 2017 and expanded its physical footprint. They've added some products (LPs) and expanded their selection of others. And their website offers a variety of options for ordering that are very useful. Mostly, though, this is a great shop to browse, with knowledgeable staff who can help you find what you might want if you don't know for sure. Highly recommended!

The selection has a nice if not terribly deep mix, and there's a good group of books for young adults and children. We also liked the good choice of books about Vermont and New England. The staff was friendly, and we have the sense they are very much involved in their community, which we strongly applaud. We found some paperbacks we wanted and were pleased to see the store was busy during our visit. We'd endorse a stop here for anyone in the neighborhood.
