Northshire1Northshire Bookstore at 4869 Main Street, Manchester, Vermont, is not your average bookstore.  Independent and family-owned, Northshire Bookstore encourages browsing and discovery.  So, wander and enjoy.  Check out the large children’s area (a third of the store is dedicated to children).  Getting children to read is not only a goal, but a passion for the dedicated staff.  Need a recommendation for yourself, a child, or a friend? The staff is always happy and ready to help.

Northshire2Beyond books, the store offers stationery, magazines, cards, calendars, Vermont foods, and numerous gift items from clothing to jewelry.  For souvenirs to special gifts for the folks back home, Northshire Bookstore makes it easy and fun to take care of your gift list.

From special author events, book clubs, and public issue forums, there’s always something happening at the Northshire Bookstore.  Come, visit the Spiral Press Café for a coffee and something to nibble, and spend some time exploring the store’s over 10,000 square feet.  Visit August 4-7 and take advantage of the Manchester Sidewalk Sale for special savings.
