Woodstock Bibliophile

Woodstock Bibliophile has been a literary landmark in one of New England's most beautiful villages since 1971, its shelves reflecting the same care and attention to craft that characterizes Woodstock itself. The store occupies a Federal-style building on Central Street, its rooms flowing naturally from one section to the next, each with its own character and charm. The nature writing collection is outstanding, drawing on Vermont's deep tradition of environmental thought from George Perkins Marsh to contemporary conservation writers. The poetry section is equally impressive, spanning centuries and continents, with a particular strength in New England poets. A rare books room in the back holds first editions and fine press volumes that attract collectors passing through on foliage drives or ski weekends. The famous fireplace reading nook, complete with well-worn armchairs and a perpetual stack of staff picks, embodies everything visitors love about a Vermont bookstore.
