Not really an antique bookstore but whatever nonfiction subject you are interested in, you will find something. Prices are reasonable and owner well informed and friendly. Has fiction and a kids section also. Worth a detour.

Awesome selection and incredible prices in a unique location. Well worth your time to check out!…read moreThey play records on a turntable in the store and also have coffee on-site.

Somehow I missed this dual bookstore (Antidote Books) and coffee shop (Duchess Coffee) in my…read moreprevious travels through VT, but not this fall! Adorable, cozy, and filled with a highly curated selection of books. The focus appears to be on poetry, but there's also other selections to choose from as well. On the coffee side of the house they roast their own micro lots of beans! You couldn't pick a more dreamy environment to browse for books. Go for the cortado with oatmilk!

Antidote is my favorite local book shop, with a cool and eclectic mix of new and used books. Their…read morebeautifully curated offering has exposed me to authors and poets that I may otherwise not have heard of. They host poetry readings, serve espresso and coffee, sell cards and jewelry from local artists and the owners are extremely passionate. They're always down to have a great discussion! The atmosphere and location are both quintessential Vermont and the energy from Antidote is both relaxing and invigorating. If they don't have what you're looking for, you can order it from them, allowing you to quickly get what you need and still support a local small business instead for ordering from a big-box store/site.

This was an amazing find of a place to explore, and I think is a must visit if you find it! As you…read morecould tell from its name they have used books which is a large portion of the inventory but don't worry if you aren't a book lover they have plenty. Vintage vinyls in large numbers, vintage clothing, and plenty of other oddities to excite you or even make you wonder. There is a main building where you'll find some books, most of the vinyls and lots of other items. Out back, which by the way does have a couple parking spots also has the yurt which is where you will find the majority of the books. It's a very impressive collection and has a good variety of genres and while a lot are vintage I did stumble upon some more commonly know titles such as Harry Potter and a Hunger Games book. If you only explore the main building and skip the yurt you certainly miss out! The owner was extremely friendly and you could tell this is a passion of his to share his collection for others to find and collect! Also for the most part I really thought prices were reasonable, with many of the books in the yurt looking like they were $3-$4 roughly. My wife and I almost decided to purchase an awesome looking lamp that featured a barrel as the base. We did up just browsing though but enjoyed our time here very much! Worth visiting for sure!

So many books! And vinyl! And movie posters! And used clothing! And decor items! And even some…read moreelectronics! Definitely check out the large yurt in the back for more. Yes, I found two Star Trek books to take along and very nearly bought a shirt that I did not need. Prices were great and the dude working (owner? manager?) was super friendly.

I visited here again recently and this place is still just as magical! It's tucked away in the…read morewoods and is chock full of immeasurable charm. The owner is English and her business is an extension of her lovely personality. I have childhood memories of this place that could have come straight out of a magical fairytale book. There are many categories here; a large history section, gardening, art, film, geography, mythology, crafts, so many categories and subcategories, and because they are curated by someone passionate with books there are no filler books here. The prices are unbelievably reasonable, this is a curated collection by a woman passionate about books, making a living off of it feels secondary here to the passion of finding the books. You will not ever find another place like this. In a small rural town no less! This is a destination place if you are visiting the area. Such a gem!
