The Toadstool Bookshop, Keene

We love Toadstool! It's quite large for a local bookstore, and their "new" location on the corner of Emerald St and Main has made them even better. They've got a great selection for all ages and tastes. The store is well-organized without the sterile feeling of a big chain store (and they've outlasted the former Borders by almost ten years at this point). They also have a ton of used books, which are fun to peruse, easy on the wallet, and a great way to catch up on bestsellers from a few years back. There's also a fun vegetarian cafe attached that we haven't tried yet, but it looks promising and I've heard good things.

I have visited Toadstool of Keene since they were in the Colony Mill many years ago. I always enjoy their selection and have always received top notch service. Most recently I preordered Stephen's King most recent book and was very happy with the condition of the book and time of arrival.
