Capitol Grounds Books is perfectly suited to Montpelier, a city that feels more like a village and takes fierce pride in doing things its own way. The store's emphasis on independent and small-press publishing gives it a selection that feels genuinely different from anything you would find in a chain or online. Vermont interest titles span farming, homesteading, maple sugaring, and the state's unique political culture. The political science section is unusually strong for a store this size, reflecting Montpelier's identity as a seat of government where civic engagement is a way of life. The wood stove in the reading corner is not just atmospheric; it is a practical necessity during Vermont's five-month winter, and regulars know to claim the nearby armchair early on cold days.
