Such was my visit to The Crow Bookshop. It did not hurt that the bookstore is named for one of my favorite creatures.
Was a little disappointed with the prices and selection. I enjoyed looking at the cooking books section but not much else than that. Their sci-fi section was a disappointment. Although some of the sections were small I had no problem navigating the bookshop. Everything was well organized.
In addition - -their Crow logo is great - and they often have short and long sleeved colored T-shirts that make great gifts - - for loved ones or yourself! My favorites for my brother had the black crow logo on a teal and a red long sleeved shirt - he wears them all the time!
A friendly little bookshop with lots of great books.
I would go out of my way to get to this place. It is worth your visit.
Crow's book selection is outstanding for the floorspace that the business has. I have never had a negative interaction with any of the staff. 10/10 would recommend as a good used-bookstore to go to here in Burlington.
Of the thousands of books available in the store, I must say that it had the best collection of poetry I have seen in a while - which is here-to-fore unheard of. Bravo The Crow Bookshop.
It's location in down town Burlington, Vermont is perfect. The staff are extremely warm and helpful. The selection is what I would expect from a great bookstore. It is varied, comprehensive, and features a fine collection of local Vermont authors.
so I have been going there for 22 years! Although I was living two hours away at the time they first opened- I would plan book runs several times a year! They sell used books - as well as new books at a discount. They are small - - but I always find a book or books that interest me! There are certain types of books - like cookbooks that they have shelves of - other sections are smaller - Now I live about 1 1/2 hours away - -but I make detours just to go to crow when I am on the Western Side of the state.
I know it is an odd belief, but I find some sort of deep comfort when acts of serendipity happen when you are discovering a new place. Like you walk into a bookstore about 300 miles away from home and just happen to find a book of poetry written by the very poet you will be teaching classes about in two weeks. A poet who earned his salt in prison - where he learned to read and write. An obscure modern poet. Also, the same author who will be writing the preface to your new collection of poems - from your pen and from the poets at the prison where you teach.
My own interests lie in history -any age - philosophy - psychology, especially the more foundational of Freud, Adler, Jung, R D Laing and others - anthropology from around the world, sociology, Women's topics - as well as Science Fiction. I believe that a number of professors and grad students at nearby University of Vermont - often trade their books at Crow - so I always find books that I have been looking for and/or ones that I really needed to know about.
