Come by today through Sunday for our BIG SALE! 20% off storewide including already-discounted items. In-store only. We’ll be closing for our winter break beginning 1/5.

Place special orders with us by SATURDAY 12/13 to get them here by 12/24! Shipping and processing may be a little sluggish, and we have weather to think about — so let us know if you have something in mind that we can help you find.

Bookselling is like the most "people go to the store and buy what looks cool to them without a particular agenda" type business left, and your purchases have a huge influence on what is ordered, what is displayed, and what is recommended.

This panel from 1985 never gets old.

A lot of people were out in Greenfield last night. Fun night.

Happy Halloween! For today, we will be matching sales up to $250 with a donation to the Center for Self-Reliance Food Pantry.

Covered a 4-hour shift at @federalstbooks.bsky.social today. In my modestly sized town, we sold out of the Constitution, sold 2 copies of Common Sense, and I lent some packing tape to a guy who needed to repair his inflatable dinosaur.

I think what disappoints me about Banned Books Week is that it's a campaign of bottled awareness that disappears the other 51 weeks of the year. We are supposed to react with shock and dismay when we learn books are banned. What we need are anger and refusal.

It may be Halloween season, but the skeletons are put to work all year round.

Closed for vacation. See you again regular hours beginning 9/24!

Schedule updates! Open 1:30pm Thurs, regular hours Fri/Sat, CLOSED 9/7 - 9/23. Any special/web orders will be processed beginning 9/24. Used book buys and donations paused until 10/1. Thanks for your support! We’ll be back at it regular hours and of course some holiday hours through year-end.

Fellow authors, I love you, and I know it feels like we don’t have a choice, but B&N and Am*zon both scheduled sales this week to preempt Independent Bookstore Day, a hugely vital source of income for indie bookstores. Please don’t promote their sales; please promote your local indie this week.

Starting today, get your ebooks from @bookshop-org.bsky.social and support indies! We desperately need to update our Bookshop storefront, but you can search and buy anything there, and those dollars make a big difference for us.

Closed 1/5 - 1/31! You can order while we’re closed via our website for shipping or free Greenfield delivery (no pickups during this period) or shop via @bookshop-org.bsky.social Thanks, and see you Feb 1!

I (Neil) am here until 2 and we’ve got a few copies of THE SERVICEBERRY remaining. Holiday jazz playing in the store. It’s lightly snowing.

We’re here until 4pm today (Sunday) with some great gift ideas! And, open 10-2 on 12/24. We’ll be closed 12/25 and 12/26, open regular/expanded hours Friday - Sunday, closed 12/31 and 1/1.

Best wishes of the season.

Sure, Amazon may be "convenient", but have you ever spent a rainy day perusing a quaint bookstore?

Open until 7pm today (Friday) — free sticker with purchase. SMALL BUSINESS SATURDAY our Prize Bin opens up, you choose with a purchase over $30. Sunday 12-4. Please shop downtown when you can!
