The epitome of a book store. The ambiance, the controlled disorganization, and the utter mountains of books. Made a quick purchase but ended up chatting with the cashier. Could have hung out in here the rest of the day. Highly recommended.

I love this independent book store! Buying second hand books is my new favorite thing to do and the folks who work here are delightful and interesting! I usually wander in and spend a good hour scouring the book shelves.

The owner, Donna, knows what she has in stock by memory. She special orders when you need something that isn't in stock.

She also carries Vermont authors and some toys as well as gifts and Vermont calendars.

Very warm, nice book store & lots of diversity with books to purchase! The owner will order anything you want in an effort to keep the economy local! Great bookstore even just to visit & poke around!

Excellent bookstore. A little bit of everything. I could have sat and looked at books for hours. Some real incredible old books too. Very nice store owner. I would add a few chairs in the nooks so you can peruse the stacks easier but thats my knees and back speaking. I turned 52 at the end of August. I feel like the last 5 years all just hit me at once lol. I plan on regressing here from here so I will be fine! A new favorite store to stop in St. Albans for sure!
The name fits.

Gem of a used bookstore in downtown St Albans, VT. Broad selection of (mostly) books; maps; local literature & miscellany; some literary journals. Owner is helpful and knowledgeable, and I've also found nice surprises just browsing. Check out the surplus shelf just inside the entrance -- no guarantees, but well worth browsing!

You know when you visit these larger box stores or franchise stores and you ask an employee for help and they look at you like you have a second head? THIS IS NOT THAT PLACE!

At The Eloquent page, Donna, is knowledgeable about all things books. She can recommend books similar to those you've read, similar to others you've heard of and always willing to place orders for anything you can't find.

Ask Donna about Saint Albans history to learn more about the town while you're there, she's very knowledgeable!
