Village Green Books

Village Green Books is as carefully composed as the quintessential New England village it inhabits. Overlooking Woodstock's covered bridge and manicured green, the store offers a selection that has been refined over three decades to serve both the town's year-round literary community and the visitors who come seeking Vermont's postcard perfection. The nature writing section is extraordinary, spanning scientific observation, personal essay, and illustrated field guides. New England history titles illuminate the region's rich past, while the literary fiction section favors quiet, beautifully crafted novels that match the store's contemplative atmosphere. A small rare books alcove holds first editions of Vermont and New England literature. The seasonal window displays, which mark the passing of Vermont's dramatic seasons, have become a beloved village institution.
