Review from Stephanie V.

I do love books, so it's only natural that I make a beeline for any bookstore in the town/ whewhatever areas I happent o be in. The golden Notebook is situated on a strip of sleepy storefront and cozy little stores. This store is surprisingly big for these small little Woodstock bouqitues. There are essentially two stores, one is the children's bookstore and the other is the general lot of fiction, non-fiction, poetry, sight-seeing, travel, etc.
Great little shoppe in Woodstock and I didn't see any other bookstores in the area. I bought some poetry collections and thoroughly enjoyed myself during my Woodstock escapades. -

I've been going to this bookstore for over 30 years. It's always sucked. Wow.... If you're going to beat the daylights out of a book, you have to discount it guys. And when I special-order a book, I really expect it to look new, not like it just came through a meat grinder. And why argue about its condition? This is like a bookstore from Monty Python: "The pages in this book are all torn." ... "No they're not."
Poor selection, the standard prices you find anywhere. The main issue is that the staff is just rude. This is one of the few stores I've ever been to where the staff actually tried to rob me -- they tried to undercount my change. -

There are two parts to this shop. One is the bookstore, which is the larger of the two spaces. It has a good general selection and seems to have a smart offering of new nonfiction and fiction. There's a little section of Catskills-related and regional books next to the checkout counter, and the section on alternative healthcare and the occult belies Woodstock's countercultural history.
Next door is the children's store, which is smaller and has less of a selection. The front room features board books, early readers, and chapter books, as well as toys. The back room includes books on parenting and related topics, note cards, and other items for all ages.
Because the public restrooms near the information center were locked for the winter (or weekend), I asked the proprietor of the bookstore whether it had a public restroom. There is one, and it's in the children's store.
Worth supporting. -

Good service. It's really nice to see a thriving local bookstore anywhere, and this one is hip and will always interest me with the books it contains.
