Shelves

Enthusiastically selected reads for this moment — plus cards, notebooks, and small gifts at the front table.

Fiction & literature

Novels, short stories, and translations that travel well from the creek trail to the porch swing.

New hardcovers

Just-arrived novels and prize-season picks we are excited to hand across the counter.

Paperbacks to carry

Light enough for the bag, sturdy enough for a weekend away.

Backlist favorites

Titles we restock because neighbors keep asking for them by name.

Staff shelf

What we are reading now — marked with handwritten notes, not algorithms.

Nonfiction & local

Essays, history, outdoors, and Hudson Valley stories that root you here.

Ulster & the Hudson

Guides, history, and photography of the creek, the ridge, and the towns nearby.

Essays & memoir

Quiet companions for rainy afternoons and long train rides.

Food & gardens

Cookbooks and growing guides that pair well with a bouquet from the cart.

Special orders

If we do not have it, ask — we order regularly and will call when it arrives.

Kids & young readers

Picture books, early readers, and middle-grade adventures for curious minds.

Picture books

Story-hour staples and gift-ready favorites with room for a personal inscription.

Middle grade

Chapter books that keep the porch light on a little longer.

Stationery & small gifts

Paper goods to tuck beside a hardcover — for thank-yous, desk drawers, and slow letters.

Greeting cards

Letterpress and local artists, ready for birthdays, thanks, and just-because notes.

Notebooks & journals

Blank pages for lists, drafts, and trail sketches.

Wrapping & bookmarks

Simple finishes so a gift from the shelves feels complete.
