I can't believe no one has reviewed this book store ever in all the years it has been around? This…read moreis one of Vermont's best kept literary secrets. It's an old brick farmhouse where the woman who owns the place, a long-time local, has collected books for decades and converted all the rooms on the first floor into a shop. Feel free to chat with her in the kitchen as she's very friendly and interesting. The selection of books is extensive and well-organized. It is jam packed with good stuff so plan on spending a while. She is only open for a 3 hour slot from 2-5pm Tues-Sat so you have to plan ahead. I used to go in there as a little kid and never get sick of going back when I am visiting Vermont. It feels like a remnant of an era since lost--pure Vermont. She also has a decent Vermont history section if interested.

We were disappointed in this "book" store. Perhaps we were thrown off by the name. We thought it…read morewould offer a garden of books, but it just didn't seem to have all that many books on anything but a very few subjects. It seemed to be more geared toward games, toys, video games and graphic novels. We were in and out in no time, and we normally spend a good deal of time in bookstores. There was nothing in there of interest to anyone in our family. If you are into gaming or graphic novels, this is your place.

This is a very nice bookstore, with a toy section, and a candy section - hot drinks, also. Very…read moreclean and welcoming. Good selection. Friendly staff. As are all bookstores that sell new books, its a bit pricey, but that's just a fact of life rather than a strike against this particular bookstore. I enjoyed my time there.

Eight years after our first visit, we're back here in the time of the pandemic and were cheered,…read morefirst of all, too see this independent bookstore is open for business. We like the owner and we feel she's got a pretty good stock of new and some used books along with a very nice children's area (play space and books). It's a welcome stop in this part of Vermont (the Northeast Kingdom) and makes us happy. We're upgrading them to four stars although that's not so much of a change in the store as a change of our mind. We want to encourage local businesses at this awful time in our history. We can do so with an open heart here.

Cute lil book store on Main Street! They had a great selection of different genres! I picked up a…read morefew thrillers that I had been looking for and some puzzle game books that I hadn't ever seen before. The service was fine. 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!

Quick update eight years later: it's still a delightful used bookstore, with crowded shelves…read morecrowded with hundreds and hundreds of volumes on all sorts of topics. We're fond of cookbooks, and they have a bunch. It feels cozy like we think a used store ought to feel, and we were very pleased to make our reacquaintance with it recently. And yes, it is open during the pandemic, at least as of the time of our review.

5 STARS is NOT enough!…read more Where do I begin..... What a delightful store to visit. As we (my husband and kids) were driving to our hotel - we passed this cute yellow storefront and couldn't believe it was a bookstore! So we quickly checked-in our hotel, unpacked and went straight to the store. Upon entering we were immediately greeted by a young lady who quickly directed us to where we needed to be. However, the frosting on the cake was the most welcoming, super knowledgeable and ecstatic owner! Elizabeth! What a treat! My daughter who is 14 and a total bookworm met her soul sister! They engaged in a conversation ... and 1.5hrs later, 5 books and a list of places we should visit while in town... we were ready for our VERMONT TRIP! BEST VISIT EVER! If this was an indication of how our trip was going to be, what a treat! You must visit Elizabeth and her store you won't regret it.
