Persnickety Books is a locally owned independent bookstore and cafe in a truly unique historic building. It is a must-visit bookstore, a book lover's dream, and a bright gem. The store features three floors of wonderfully organized books, with both new and used books across all categories. It has a great selection with good prices. The light and airy space is filled with hidden spaces, reading nooks, and multiple areas to discover, including a kids area. It is both beautiful and cozy. The business is community oriented and features a coffee shop with tasty coffee. It is dog friendly and has spaces for events and activities. The friendly and helpful staff supports literary outreach, reading programs, and a books-to-prisons charity. The store accepts donations and trade-ins, operating with the spirit of "Giving Books and People a Second Chance."
What a gorgeous sight to walk into a bookstore and just see it stretch on and on like a long hall. Amazing selection, and in addition to our haul, we had such a lovely conversation with the owners. They answered all our questions and had some great recommendations for our time in Burlington. We can’t wait to go back!
