Wow, it sounds like a really unique store where you can peruse other things besides books. I am hoping to find a really good store in my area, but haven’t seriously scouted out one yet. Great post!

Sounds like the owner’s personal touch makes this store special.

This sounds like a great place to spend the afternoon in New England.
I am originally from there but now live in the south. Love places like this. The book store looks from the outside very welcoming.

It’s too bad most folks who travel through Connecticut only see the corridors along interstate highways — I-95 is a nightmare, and the others aren’t much better. So, my home state gets a bad rap. But the northwest and northeast corners of the state are postcard-perfect depictions of small town New England. Thanks for spotlighting this part of the state.

Your Spotlight posts are not only great for finding good bookstores, they are great for finding good writers. I want to read her books based on this writing sample. She shared herself in this piece so she probably does in her books as well.

Waaah, I wish that bookstore were here in my city. Colorado Springs sells bibles — lots and lots of bibles. (We have B&N too, and Borders, but they don’t count).

I got a thrill just reading that part about packing up the books and taking them on the road. I love open air markets and an open air market with books? That would be my cup of tea.

That book store is adorable. I am deprived of these little treasures!
