Book stores are invaluable, and this one attracted my attention. Bit on psychology fun, childrens books, and the smell of books in the shop ...

My wife and I stopped by Crow Bookshop on Church Street in Burlington for our first visit and I am happy to say it made a charming first impression. Nestled in the pedestrian-only stretch of Church Street Marketplace, it’s a cozy gem that feels both modern and vintage, with hardwood floors, brick walls, rolling ladders, and window-filled storefronts.
Crow offers a balanced mix of new, used, and overstock titles across a wide variety of genres, fiction, classics, cookbooks, sci‑fi, gardening, graphic novels, psychology, Vermont-themed works, children’s books, and more. While I didn’t find the specific books I was hoping for, my wife was thrilled to discover several titles she’d been eyeing.
The staff were friendly and attentive, casual yet helpful without hovering. We didn’t have to hunt them down; they greeted us at checkout and offered assistance when asked. The relaxed, personable approach added to the welcoming feel of the shop.
Pricing is reasonable: used and remaindered books are typically priced at around half cover, and new hardcovers carry a 20% discount - children’s hardcovers get 15% off. We found the discounts generous and the mix of new and used made it easy to shop within budget.
Don’t expect sprawling aisles, Crow has two long rooms, including a dedicated children’s nook filled with picture books and early readers. The shop feels intimate yet organized, with staff picks and local-interest shelves adding a thoughtful touch. A small stage in the back hints at occasional events.
Crow Bookshop is a delightful, well-curated indie bookstore. Though I missed out on my haul, my wife’s finds more than made up for it, and the visit itself was a pleasant experience. With great selection, solid pricing, and friendly service, it’s a must-stop when wandering Church Street.

One of the best bookstores I’ve ever been to—and I’ve been to a lot. Such a cozy place to peruse and read on a rainy Burlington day. Great selection of new and used books and very affordable prices.

Very open, small, cute place. I love that the recommended books have a discount applied to them, feels like the staff really want you to enjoy what they enjoyed. I'd say it's most of a traditional bookstore than a used book store

It's a cute little book shop right on Church Street (one of my most favorite places) in Burlington VT. They have a collection of used and new books, a children's area and few miscellaneous other items. As I said, it's small so there wasn't necessarily a large selection of books (though it looked they had room for more than they had out). I have a son who is a book collector so I have been in A LOT of bookstores of all shapes in sizes from home in California, multiple states back East and Hawaii. I've been in better and I've been in worse. It's definitely worth going in. Just don't be too disappointed if you don't find anything (though we found 2 books). There was only one staff person and she was friendly when we were checking out but never asked if we needed any assistance when looking for books. If you've read any of my other reviews bookstores, you will see I rank that as an important feature.

I love this shop, I couldn’t wait to come back and visit as soon as we came to town. I wasn’t disappointed, walked out with two great books. Sorry TBR list!

I went into this bookstore to check and see if they had any books by V.C. Andrew & Dean Kootz because I really like the suspense by these Authors. They absolutely had them and I bought a book to read. I wish that they offered books that are in larger print because I have poor eyesight. But all in all, I was very impressed by the amount of books that they had to offer.

Classic little book store with new and used books, situated on Church street Market Place. It has a very European vibe to it. The employees are very friendly and eager to help you find what you are looking for. A must stop if you are an avid reader.
