“Familiar Trees is such a great shop! Some of the most interesting books I’ve seen in a long time. I stopped by to purchase Holiday gifts and left with so many books I couldn’t resist for myself! Cozy atmosphere & knowledgeable owners. Don’t miss this place when you’re visiting Great Barrington.”

“What an absolutely wonderful place. This delightfully quirky bookstore rambles across two buildings: the main shop, which is already packed full of treasures on multiple floors, and the newly-completed seasonal "book mill" building (built right over the water) which the owner describes as being intentionally disorganized to encourage browsing. I failed to take many pictures because being in here is such a fun, engrossing, woodsmoke-scented experience: my phone stayed in my pocket for pretty much the duration. Everything from the smell to the wonderful stop-motion short film playing in a little cubbyhole to the lovely owner and employees and the interesting rooms to discover (there's almost an entire floor devoted just to massive photography books!) is like a kind of amusement park for book-lovers. The books are also priced to move, which is great. I 100% plan on going back to West Stockbridge largely just to bask in the atmosphere of this bookstore again.”
“I travel the country, meeting a multitude of people in incredibly different stages of understanding and development. These people have no idea the incredible strength of character and dedication to living inspired mission shops like Crystal Essence have added to their lives. I consider Crystal Essence to be Legacy. We all stand upon the shoulders of those who founded your shop, believed in its providence, and were willing to live the life required to create space, hold space, and then somehow allowed their dreams to become our inheritance. Just walking onto the sacred ground for which Crystal Essence was built rings true with the harmonics intended for its Legacy to continue and I am one of those who sees that, feels that, and appreciated that.... I have thousands of shops spas and centers on my database, each and every one of them has Crystal Essence and others like her to thank for them even having the option of living a similar dream. I am honored to have been allowed to join in the energies that build it maintain it and believe in all that is possible thru it.I hold you and your shop in the highest and best of intentions. I wish you the very best and continue to carry the Essence of Crystal Essence with me lierally everywhere I go. Maybe one day I shall return, but for now, I'll be an ambassador of the essence of the magic and miracles founded in Great Barrington USA...”
“The Yellow House bookstore is lovely and filled with a curated selection of books. There is a resident cat who is very sweet and enjoys gentle attention. There are also fun quotes and pieces of artwork on the walls and tucked on shelves. Go check it out!”
“Warm and friendly. A unique selection of books. There is a documentary about this bookstore that is worth seeing. Great insight into small business ownership in a small town.”
