What a charming shop! Friendly, fascinating, colorful. Besides books, they have a selection of toys, puzzles, art supplies, pins, stickers, and more. While the books are fab, we were especially impressed to see Lottie dolls.

Great space. Lots of books beautifully displayed. Handy staff picks guided me to a winner of a read. Lovely and knowledgeable manager shared book info and other fun places around town to visit. Indie bookstores are the best!
The Merritt Bookstore is an independent book and toy store serving the Hudson Valley. We have a full selection of new books, toys, greeting cards, small gifts, stationery and more. If you know you want a specific title, we encourage you to check before you come and allow us time to order if need be, though we are sure you will find something wonderful already on our shelves!
We host bookclubs, and author events in the shop and seasonally at the Millbrook Farmer's Market. We believe in the power and pleasure of reading, first and foremost.
