This is not your run-of-the-mill used book store, with books shoved every which way and in various states of disrepair. Henniker Book Farm is like a lovingly curated used book collection. With mostly hardbacks, and a few high quality paperbacks, though the selection is not huge there is something for everyone with all the main topics of general interest represented.

If they don't have what you're looking for, they'll even call around to other stores in the area to find it for you! Of course, if you can't stop by in person buying online is a great option. I appreciate that they include a photo of each actual book they sell online so you can see what you're getting. Worthy of your business...

If you're looking for an old, or not so old book, the Henniker Book Barn is definitely...

I was greeted by the shops puppy which told me right off I had found a good place. The layout is the very definition of a used book store-shelves filled with books in every direction with a crackling wood stove in the very center. Every section is wonderfully organized. As I paid for my newly found treasures I shared my interest in the Everyman’s Library books, and before I knew it I was gifted with four more books that the owners had flagged for donation. Just a lovely place, looking forward to...
