Yankee Bookshop — Local services in Woodstock

Visited this bookstore twice in the past two months, and on both visits the staff made me feel unwelcomed. As I entered, I always greeted the staff with a "Hello." Both visits I got no response from either of the ladies behind the register. Both visits I purchased books. None of the ladies looked me in the eyes nor said anything, other than the total amounts. Both visits were cold and callous. Does the female staff hate men? Clearly, I am not welcomed at Yankee Bookshop. I prefer, and recommend, Norwich Bookstore. At least the staff there are friendly.

P.S.: Two years after I posted the negative review above, I made a return visit to see if service has improved. To my surprise, it has! The man-hating, multi-pierced-and-tattooed women I first encountered are gone! The ladies I met were friendly and courteous. At the registered, they spoke to me courteously while making eye contact. I do hope they continue this positive trend; for I shall make additional visits...

Great little independent bookshop in the heart of the beautiful town of Woodstock, VT. There are a well curated selection of books with something everyone can enjoy, including a section of local history and other non-fiction books, an adorable and fantastic selection of kids & young adult books, and a lovely range of romance books.

The employees were all helpful and kind, and the store is dog friendly which was a bonus (as we brought our pup on our trip).

There are also greeting cards, stickers, candles, and other non-book bookish accessories. Overall, fantastic little store - highly recommend for anyone...

Solid selection, but I don’t think you can really claim to be an inclusive/queer-supporting bookshop while still having multiple entire full shelf displays of Harry Potter books, products and associated merchandise. Obviously it sucks and makes us all sad but JKR has been very clear that she equates the amount of money she makes from stuff like that to people agreeing with her opinions on trans people. I picked up a copy of Nona the Ninth regardless because I like to hope that this sort of thing is just because whoever is curating doesn’t...
