In an age where most of what we read is delivered digitally, it feels good to turn the pages of an actual book while you get lost in a captivating story. Whether you are a bookworm, nerd, or just someone who loves shopping, this huge bookstore in Vermont will keep you occupied for hours.

The bookstore first opened its doors in 1976 in a different location. After much success and a need for more space, the family owned and operated business moved to its current and much larger location in 2003.
Enter the doors and it's hard to know where to begin, the selection of books seems to go on for miles.

Wander through the first floor where you'll find cookbooks, mysteries, nature books, travel stories, and more. The lower level also houses a good selection of used books for the bargain hunter in all of us.
