The store can order you books they might not carry - I got Goggins book "Can't Hurt Me" within 2 days. When I went to pick up my book order, I stopped in the back room for used books and picked up a few sports biographies - Lou Gherig and Bill Russell. It's a great spot in Pound Ridge surrounded by restaurants, bakeries, and shops. Please support this local bookstore!

The store is spacious and well organized and I liked that there was a best seller list table right when you walk it. Decent selection of books prominently displayed; I enjoyed looking at all the different genres. They have greeting cards, gift items, Fairfield U clothing and paraphernalia. I was able to find a great book gift that happened to be 30 percent off. They also have a cafe/coffee shop and some indoor and outdoor seating. Upstairs for the textbooks. On street parking. I would recommend a visit.

They offer candles, home furnishings, jewelry, pretty much anything you can think of. It is beautiful inside. I can't believe I didn't know about this place! I found them by chance. I think this is the perfect place for people who might want to do some Holiday shopping but do not want to brave (gulp) the MALL! I am one of those people who prefer a charming gift shop oozing warmth and New England charm to the impersonal business and crowded hassles of the big box stores and shopping malls. There is alot here to explore and it is easy to find and parking is ample. It reminds me of the lovely shops in Cape Cod and Maine, places I adore and do not see much of in Fairfield County. Now that I am aware of them, I will certainly be there frequently And here's a tip: they personalize many of their items, if you want that service. You just can't beat that. Highly recommended.
