The Golden Notebook

Love this bookstore! I’ve done multiple purchases online through them, and I’ve always had a positive experience. Today, I had the pleasure of visiting the store in person for the first time (a two-hour drive from my house), and it was incredibly charming and definitely worth the drive. The staff were friendly and very helpful. Thanks to this store and Neil Gaiman, I have signed copies of all of my favorite Neil Gaiman novels — an incredible treat for this fan. Thank you!

Bonus: I absolutely love my new TGN tote!

An absolute TREAT! I am the very happy owner of a signed copy of Good Omens through them. Super communicative, fast shipping and very reasonable pricing made for a fantastic experience. Sincerely and highly recommended, especially for special purchases.

I had a wonderful experience with the staff for my online order. I had placed an order for a signed version of a book. Unfortunately they ran out but updated me quickly and were amazing working with me to update and send out my order once they restocked. They made the process easy and were great at communicating with me. I would highly reccommend!

My wife must visit this lovely store every time we visit the area. Our seems to have it all!

The Golden Notebook did not disappoint. My children and I are doing the Hudson Valley Book Trail and this book store was one of the ones we were really looking forward to visiting. I had read about this book store in 'Footnotes from the World's Greatest Bookstores' Its why we were excited to visit. They had a beautiful children's books section upstairs. My kids loved it and they had so much fun. Friendly and cozy atmosphere. Customer service was great. We will definitely be returning for more books 📚

The customer service is absolutely amazing and I could not have had a more positive experience buying books online. If you live anywhere near this shop you should definitely visit it (for all of us that cant)

:)

Friendly staff and a cozy atmosphere for this small town bookstore.

This book store is so cute and they have a good selection! Found a book that wasn't available at the previous few stores I'd visited recently, and my sister immediately found a featured book that she was interested in yet had never heard of before. I also love the select of cool and good quality postcards! And there's a whole penguin classics section which is great if you're into those.

An amazing little shop. I came in with my mom and baby on a busy day. The upstairs children department is wonderful. Popular books, hidden gems, and a very very diverse collection—plus the cutest little stuffies, toys, and games. Even with a busy store I still felt welcomed and seen. They greeted us on the way in, which is always a good sign. The only thing I wish was different would be if it was more accessible for a stroller or wheelchair (even stepping in from the street there is a little ledge you have to go over, if I remember correctly), I would hate for anyone to not be able to see the wonderful children's area. , I luckily had my baby in a carrier strapped to my chest. However this problem is universal for most stores in downtown Woodstock, as it is an older city.

I will be sure to stop in every time I visit family. I didn’t see any books I wanted (I work at a library and collect books) but I bought the best, highest quality tote bag I’ve every owned (and it their name on it); and I am a tote bag connoisseur. I couldn’t leave without supporting.

Staff are friendly and efficient Found the book I wanted in minutes and wrapped it beautifully

This is my favorite spot to visit in Woodstock! For such a small shop, it is chock-full of great finds! New, old, obscure, they have it all and they'll even order it, if it's not there! The selection is so well thought out and I find something off my list and something that catches my eye I've never heard of each time I've been. The staff are amazing, not pushy and willing to help if you need. I can't sing the praises of this book store enough. It is a must visit, something for everyone (adults and kids), highly recommend!

Just received an order from them that I've been waiting on since September. I knew it was high demand but they did the best they could given the demand! The books were packaged neatly and well protected, if I'm ever in near the store I will definitely go in for a visit otherwise online will have to do for now.

The Golden Notebook is the best bookstore I've ever been to. First let me say, I live almost 2 hours away from this store but the staff here is so phenomenal that I drove on a holiday, in traffic!. I wanted signed copies of a particular author and emailed them to see if they had anything. Not only did they check their whole stock but then emailed me back to list each book and it's price. I was able to pick what I wanted and the put them on hold for me. Also, they don't upcharge for signed books! Where other places are making a profit off of signatures, The Golden Notebook just wants you to have the unique experience of owning a signed copy of your favorite author. Besides their flawless customer service, three bookstore is so cute, with tons of books and topics to choose from plus a darling children's nook upstairs that I couldn't pull my kids away from! I can't say enough about my experience, it was 100%! Many Thanks to the staff, especially Gretchen!

One of the best independent book stores in the Hudson Valley with a lot of books about the history of the town and the original Woodstock 1969 festival

I love this place. I make sure to stop in at least once every summer we come up to the Catskills. I always find something good. I especially love the little music section they have, there's always something interesting about the great music that came out of the Catskills.

Absolutely adorable little book store. They have a great selection, including many signed Neil Gaiman books, one of my favorite authors!

nice bookstores are rare, not crowded or overwhelmed by the number of books as with most bookstores. The community seems to be vibrant and active in the congregation of these stores, keeping them open. For many bookstores, although a wide selection, lack the organization and labels for a customer to properly find a book. This place is nice and everything can be found with ease.

Great little bookstore with many recent bestsellers and new finds. Helpful and friendly staff.

I really enjoyed popping into this bookstore. Because of the layout, I walked out with a couple of books I wouldn't have discovered, and they've both been really great finds. Friendly staff. Support your local bookstores!

Love this little bookstore! The selection was amazing for books but also for giftable things like puzzles. Will definitely visit any time I am in Woodstock!
