The Book Trail

Exploring the Book Stores of Southern Vermont

Given Vermonters like to spend the winter months reading a good book by a cozy fire, it's not surprising the region is full of book shops with some great finds.  Take a stroll through the area, make some stops along the Book Trail, and find some good reads for yourself.
