They have magazines, all the current books, some gently used books , bookmarks, cute little goodies and AN ENTIRE CORNER DEDICATED TO ALL THINGS LOUISE PENNY How awesome is that???!!! You don't have to be an LP fan to enjoy this cozy little bookstore and if you're French-Canadien il y a des livres en français et les propriétaires parlent en français aussi. Across the street are three pine trees which were recently replanted. It's a lovely spot and the area has become a haven for Penny lovers from all over. Are you excited yet??!!

Several articles allege that this bookstore inspired Myrna's bookstore in the Louise Penney…read more"Gamache" series. And indeed there's a little alcove dedicated to the series. I love bookstores, and worry that e-books may make them vanish. If you're looking for new books, along with some Inspector Gamache goodies, like mugs, totes, and shirts, this is a fine spot for you. I'm fonder of used bookstores, and was kind of expecting that (solely based on my imagination and the articles talking about the inspiration for the literary bookstore), so perhaps I didn't do the place justice. The lady behind the counter was helpfully ordering a special book for someone, so clearly there's a personal touch. Stop by and judge the place yourself!

I had shopped Green Mountain Books several times and had to watch myself because I could load up on books and other treasures very quickly! This is truly an enchanting and magical store.

So excited! Warm and welcoming with a bit of fairy dust if you look closely!

I love Phoenix books--independent/locally owned.

I think they do a great job with buying. On the few occasions I've had a specific (and obscure) book on my list that I haven't found, they've offered to order it for me. They've got a great little cafe as well. And the staff is really helpful and sweet. It is my go to place for gift certificates for teachers or folks that I need to get a gift for that I don't know well. This place is a gem! Definitely check it out.
