Reviews of Crow Bookshop - Crow Books

Gheeotine

Charming, pleasant, and knowledgeable, but a bit limited in selection. A prospective girlfriend brought me here on a first date. She had good taste. Some might describe the book shop as small, but I find it more cozy. The selection is somewhat limited, but the atmosphere is rather pleasant. They appear to have a small stage for readings or other small events. The lone staff member there was working diligently the entire time we were there. However, that didn't stop them from jumping to the assistance whenever I was asking about a specific title. Given the size of the shop, it's understandable that their selection is somewhat limited, which would be my chief complaint. That being said, they did not hesitate to recommend another local bookshop that likely would have had what I was looking for.

I love visiting independent booksellers. This quaint bookshop had a pretty wide selection of books particularly in history, culture, and children's literature. The book prices are a steal and the location is great. Situated right off of University of Vermont and within walking distance to City Hall and Lake Champlain, you can grab a good book and find outdoor seating right in the square. You can even grab a pint of icecream from Ben and Jerry's right down the street.

This is a must stop for the avid reader. So many books to choose from and the staff are very helpful. I enjoyed supporting a local shop and buying used books.

Arielle

Nice but small bookstore featuring new and used offerings on a wide variety topics. There is also a section of local interest and a podium for speakers. The schedule for trading books in varies.

Jun Simons

Cute bookstore, with a good enough selection of books that ive found a few picks from my favorite authors. The staff were nice both times I visited, which was in december and july. A pleasant escape from the bustle of church street stores.

Bran

Even though I couldn't find what I needed, the service was amazing. Loved the vibe and smiles. I appreciate it so much, thank you!

Eric Robinson

Great place for a real time books store. Small but with large amount of books to offer.

Eva

This is my favorite bookstore that I’ve ever visited. I used to live in Burlington and went here all the time, now I just make do with a big trip whenever I’m in town. This store is always comfortable and welcoming, with floor to ceiling bookcases that are packed with wonderful books. It’s small, so they emphasize quality of content - while still managing to stock an amazing variety and quantity of books. They sell both used and new, old but impactful, new and notable. I also love that they have a little Vermont section - both VT authors and books about it. Walking through today I saw the following titles: There There Infinite Jest Ulysses Bi - queer theory Becoming Michelle Obama Housing and Raising Chickens (paraphrasing) Kombucha Recipe book Wicked Vermont (basically notable evil people from Vermont) Field Guide to Mushrooms Go there for yourself. Go there for your friends. Get books to give as gifts that people will actually thank you for - and support a small bookstore, in a brave little state. I found a book there in 2017 that I constantly kick myself for not getting - hope they stock it again someday (see photo)

Chris Kolacz

Crunchy liberal book store. Could not find any good Trump books

Faith Robinson

This little bookshop offers both used and new books. Most of the used books were in the 8-9 dollar range and were gently used. There were so many interesting and odd titles I’d never heard of before! The vibes are immaculate too— gorgeous wood flooring!

Tanawat Luekr-u-suke

Lovely Used bookstore with a small selection of new books. overall very good bookstore.

Sarah Beth Adams

Come for the thoughtfully curated books and stay for the cozy, warm atmosphere. Crow Bookshop is easily my favorite haunt on Church Street. One of a dying breed, this small shop sells new and used books perfect for the casual onlooker and serious book-lover alike. I always seem to find myself here, perusing the shelves while waiting to grab a comfy leather armchair whenever I'm in the area. 10/10 a hidden local gem!

Ethan McKenzie

Scarcely discernable from your own local indie bookstore, yet nevertheless brilliant. Diverse range, charming prices, stellar location. Grateful for the treasures I've annually plucked from Crow's shelves on trips north.

Kate

Walking into this bookstore is like being transported into the small-town store of your dreams. Think Belle singing to the bookstore owner - "But you've read it twice!" "It's my favorite!" Anyway... this bookstore smells lovely and has a great selection, especially concerning history. You can also buy books from them online and pick it up instore, which is a great alternative to buying from the mega-giants for the same price.

Michel Chatelois

A huge choice of new and used books, with affordable prices.

Christopher Poudrette

I love used bookstores and this place is awesome! They were a little thin in the scifi department, but great otherwise.

Kristin Hillen

Nice mix of new and used, classic and contemporary. Great staff. Welcoming and helpful staff.

Bardiya Akhbari

Cool bookstore with lots of books! Although, there are only two sofas available for seating, and you have to seat on the stools if the sofas are taken.

J.M. Jones

What an incredible little store! I found so many new books at ridiculously low prices, and quality used books in great condition. I wish this place was in my hometown.

Tasha May

I love that this place has a mix of used and new books. There is a pretty good selection and it's very cozy. A must visit when you are in the downtown Burlington area.

Bruce Y.

This is the kind of bookstore I always wanted to own but somehow never got around to buying. They do it right, and while it ain't exactly the New York Public Library, size- or volume-wise, or even City Lights in San Francisco, please do stop in the next time you're strolling down Church Street. I found books I never even knew but always hoped existed. Crow Bookshop is a treasure trove you should visit.

Jordan Belanger

Awesome selection of used and new books. Curated collections of staff picks in a cozy setting with very knowledgeable staff! Way more fun than going to B&N

David M. Kravetz

I make it a point if it is to the store every time I am in Vermont. They have a great section of books. Summer books. The staff is always courteous and extremely helpful I highly recommend it.

Jackie D

I can’t believe how long it took me to finally visit! So glad I did! The staff is friendly but will totally leave you alone if you’re just browsing. The shop is small but they can order pretty much anything and it arrives very quickly. Highly recommend and glad to support a local shop!

John F

Small book shop and perfect for used and new titles. They have a variety of second hand books and if you enjoy reading you'll be sure to find some hidden gems.

Adwinnie Bernacchi

It's very rare to go to a book store and find the poetry section is busiest one. That happened to me a Crowd Bookstore. And of course, they had a amazing selection on poetry, used books and new prints. I went there to find one book and ended buying three I've been looking for in a while. The staff is super friendly and helpful. They are very organized and although I didn't check their selection thoroughly, the little I checked amazed me. This is a bookstore of a city with people who read! If your visiting it's a place to check.

Andrew Kolvoord

Absolutely wonderful book store.

Keith Burdick

Nice store with a good selection. Easy to navigate to the subjects you need. Very friendly staff. We grabbed a few Stephen King books. Would definitely recommend a visit.

Robert Cole

An excellent selection of new and used books. The staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful. This bookshop was so good that while traveling, I bought a t-shirt from them to remember them by, after spending $140 on books. I regret nothing.

Samantha Holland

We love this bookshop. After years it remains the same, small, quiet and cozy space to find a new good book.

Josh Walling

There is nothing better the a local bookstore for atmosphere and hidden gems. As soon as I stepped through the door I felt that thrill I got as a child heading to the library in search of my next great read.

Alexander Nachaj

Cozy little bookstore. A must-visit whenever I'm in town. It's well organized and priced, but my only wish was that there'd be more to choose from. The mystery and other fiction sections are definitely a little light compared to the non-fiction offerings here (which make up a the majority of the store.)

Tom Johnson-Medland

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. Such was my visit to The Crow Bookshop. It did not hurt that the bookstore is named for one of my favorite creatures. 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. I would go out of my way to get to this place. It is worth your visit.

Nicole Reynolds

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.

Deborah Blair

Crow Bookshop!!!! I have been going to Crow since it opened in 1995 - 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. 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. 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!

Hannah Blais

Crow Bookshop has such a quant, comfortable atmosphere with great quality books and other products. Lovely customer service as well. Hope to visit again on my next vacation to Burlington.

Sebastien Preudhomme

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.

Justin Paul

My favorite book shop in downtown burlington. My 7 year old loves it here. Its got a great collection of books, a quaint anf comfortable feel, and extremely pleasant staff. What's not to love?

Linda Langwiser (Linderman)

Great secondhand bookstore, there’s always something new I find to read when I go. I love their book appraisals too, the credit they give you is fair and a great way to get new books.

Nate Chertack

When you go in "just to look" and you walk out with an armful of books, you know it's a good bookstore. Great selection, helpful staff. Find all sorts of usual and unusual reads.

Amy Del Prete

Really nice, helpful staff. Great prices. Super cozy, and tiny space for reading if you're there when it's not occupied.

Miya Myers

Cute place, but some of the prices seemed a little high for the used novels (their new books were similar to Amazon prices) and the YA and Fantasy sections were abysmally sparse.
