Phoenix Books Essex

I LOvE this bookstore! It’s a great mix of local + national. 📚 💕

I love this independent book store. They can order any book and are usually very quick to get. They are helpful when looking for books as gifts as well. Staff are all friendly even during the holidays.

Excellent experience here today. Found several reduced price books. Older lady at customer service was very friendly and sweet. Hope to go back again. Only wish they were open later.

Amazing book store with super friendly and helpful staff. Can't wait to come back again.

A very nice shop, with a decent amount of selections! Clean and organized. Also, some small toys and gift ideas.

Fantastic selection of books. I'm always pleasantly surprised that what I'm looking for is either on the shelf or on order. Special orders are always very easy. Our family also loves journals and there is a nice supply of those in stock as well.
I LOVE being able to support a locally owned small business.

When I day dream about creating and designing my own indie bookstore - Phoenix Books is one of my biggest influences! They have such a wide variety of genres with plenty of staff recommendations sprinkled throughout. They have authors events and community events frequently. I always leave inspired and with my TBR list a couple books longer!

I love Phoenix Books, the focus on local work while still keeping a great selection to browse is ideal.

What an amazing place!!! The first time I went there, I felt like home. The employees are very kind and welcoming. Phoenix books store, is one of the best place I love to go without any tiredness.

Great local seller of books, cards, and small gifts. Always friendly, knowledgeable folks behind the counter. Great selection of cards, and a decent selection of books. Support local retailers, else we'll all be stuck with no options but drone-delivery from that 'River Company'. Options are good.

One of my favourite eclectic bookstores in Vermont. They have a great selection of books and quirky gifts. This is the kind of store where you can just browse at random and find some unusual choices. You will even find handwritten cards pointing out staff favorites or interesting info about a particular author. The staff are always friendly and informative. Also, if you're looking for a bookstore that has a book club, story hour for kids, or other special events, Phoenix is the place to go.

Great local book store. Small but broad range of books, children's classic books, pens and pencils and stationary, play cards and Vermont gifts. A very nice break from Amazon.

Great little shop. Nice folks, nicely curated selection.

Wonderful little bookstore and coffee shop. Nice selection of adult and kids books, as well as featuring local authors and Vermont tourist guides. They have a handful of tables if you want to drink your espresso and browse one of their books. This place is a local secret. If it was called Starbucks, it would be too crowded. We like it the way it is.

Great place to hang out check out new stuff if you got children it's amazing at toys that make them think and learn stuff very high quality merchandise and a very nice calm setting.

Lovely local books shop! I like this location better than the one downtown. It never feels too crowded and all the staff are super friendly and helpful!

Small, independent bookseller with a nice selection inventory. Stationary and other items also available. Friendly, helpful staff.

Great bookstore. If they don't have it they will order it for you. Become a book club member and you save money and support a local business!

A book store with interesting books, cards made right here in new england. Very enjoyable, all they need is a coffee machine, which there happens to be a dunkin donuts right next door. Loved the place!!

Great selection of local and diverse topics and authors. Clean store, well organized, ample parking. Support local book stores.
