Although I m trying to wean myself away from buying books, since I recently acquired a library card, when I do buy one, it is always through Transom. I am a strong believer in supporting local businesses and this particular business is owned and staffed by thoughtful, helpful, knowledgable people. I love that I have an electronic connection with them; I always pay when I order and just wait for their email message.Go Transom!!

Everything you'd want from a quintessential Hudson Valley town. Plus more. Despite dozens of bookstores in the City, I still look for every excuse to journey up to Tarrytown for this gem of a place.

This owner knows how to stock his books. My plus-one and I are well-read and there were so many great choices on the shelves, we were thrilled! Additionally, there were actually proper horror, sci-fi, and fantasy sections, which are usually lumped together or tiny.The staff was so fun to be around. They really won us over!

I’m so glad we stopped in here!! Chris was super helpful in picking out horror books to read. I picked up a really cool piece of local art and some signed books. Love this gem of a book store!!

I fell in love with this bookstore over the weekend. What first appears to be a tiny shop, is deceptively large on the inside with huge variety. I was so excited to find SO many beautiful editions of classics among the latest best sellers. The owner was so friendly and helpful. He described one of my picks-Whalefall by Daniel Kraus, as incredibly detailed and expertly researched. His enthusiasm was infectious and I knew I couldn’t leave without it. Also, as an avid supporter of local bookshops, I have to say this was one of the most reasonably priced independent stores I have ever been to. Thank you, Chris! I can’t wait to come back!

Awesome bookshop with a great selection. The person working at the counter (owner, it seemed?) was incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable. I hope to be back sometime soon!

Walking into this bookstore transported me to another world, in the very way a good story does. The books are thoughtfully curated, and each section is organized in a beautiful way. I could have stayed forever! Transom Bookshop will be on my list whenever I'm in Tarrytown, for sure.

Transom is a lovely book shop with an amazing selection and staff! Chris always has the best book recommendations and orders me anything I'm looking for that they don't have in stock!
