“I spent some quiet time browsing while my son & daughter were looking for books to buy. I enjoyed walking through the shelves and taking in the spaces slowly. To me there’s something grounding about being surrounded by books, especially in a place that feels calm and unhurried, I guess being a writer, book stores feel like home to me.
I found myself drawn to the children’s section, noticing the different illustration styles and how each book carries its own personality. It was a gentle reminder of how much care goes into storytelling—something I truly appreciate as both a reader and a creator.
The store itself feels spacious and welcoming, with areas where you can pause, browse, and simply enjoy being present without feeling rushed. There is a coffee shop, to stop have a drink and maybe discuss a good read with a friend or enjoy alone time with a recently bought book.
A peaceful place to spend time, reflect, and reconnect with stories. The staff ate friendly too.”
“I’m a library guy so I don’t usually buy books but I just had to when I popped in here over the weekend. Great selection of ecologically leaning books :)”
“Fantastic bookstore. Loved the atmosphere! Owner is the sweetest lady who opened up on her off day just for me to come in. Picked up a hoard of fantastic books. (And some great discounts) Favorite bookstore ever.”
“A peaceful Tibetan Buddhist monastery at the top of a mountain. Follow the winding road up the mountain and you'll know that you've arrived when you see the colorful prayer flags fluttering in the wind. This beautiful monastery welcomes everyone of all faiths and backgrounds - just remember to take off your shoes before you enter the shrine. If you're visiting Woodstock, this monastery is not to be missed. The bookstore (Namse Bangdzo) offers a wide selection of Buddhist books, fine Tibetan Buddhist art (statues and thangkas), and Dharma practice materials. Like other reviewers have said, this monastery is not designed as a tourist destination, but a functioning monastery and serves as the North American seat of the 17th Gyalwa Karmapa, head of the Karma Kagyu lineage. Karma Triyana Dharmachakra (KTD) offers private retreats for those who wish deepen their understanding and m find peace through Tibetan Buddhist teachings. You can make a donation at write a dedication on a card which is taped to a lamp (at the time of this writing, the donation for a 3-day lamp starts at $12). It's a neat experience walking through the golden Buddha shrine and reading other people's lamps.”
“me and my girlfriend came from the city to Woodstock for a getaway. She knows I’m into everything this place is about! I absolutely loved it, I bought 3 books which is generous or I would’ve bought one of each shelve! Absolutely lovely place”

“Helpfully assists in getting online texts, but the stress of schooling in its actual practice is of course pretty emblematic with a book store! (I apparently am the only post-B&N student to have had an issue using the Yuzu app.)”
“The Golden Notebook is such a charming little bookstore. It’s small and cozy but filled with so many great book options. I was especially excited to find a wide selection of Penguin Classics. The staff were all very kind and helpful, which made browsing even better. They also have an upstairs space dedicated to children’s books, which is such a sweet touch. Truly a lovely place to visit. 📚✨”

“This is the kind of independent bookstore that reminds you why bookstores matter. Thoughtfully curated, warmly staffed, and packed with discoveries around every corner, from literary fiction to seed packets, from steampunk music box kits to whimsical Book Nook craft sets that would make any bibliophile's heart skip.”
“The Bard College Bookstore has an array of Bard gear, school supplies and snacks. They work directly with faculty to provide students with new and used books for the academic year ensuring each student is purchasing the correct edition and volume. Once finished with the class, a student may sell the book back. If you're in a pinch the bookstore probably has what you're looking for.”

“Chicory Naturalist is a gem of a shop and one that I always stop into when I'm in the Roundout area of Kingston. It's beautifully curated and full of delightful nature-centered gifty things (that I often gift to myself). Think books (including TWO written by the owner!), games, art, nifty tools for exploring the outdoors, etc. Definitely worth a visit any time you're in the Roundout!”
