As a former Rhode Islander. You truly missed some great places. As already mentioned The Book Barn in Niantic, CT. And trust me they have exactly what you are looking for. It was my go to when i was writing a book column of old paperbacks. There is also Celler Stories in downtown Providence RI.
Rhode Islander here…..how did you miss the Book Barn in Niantic CT? The kids would have loved it. By far my fav used book shop in the area. Thanks for visiting
I'm finding it hard to phrase this so I *do NOT* sound like a troll, so please bear with me, but How did you miss the best loved & well known Used bookstore in each of those States? (or cities rather.) Was it a deliberate choice? I understand the value/joy of serendipitous finds at little shops, but I can't imagine a trip to those places w/o a visit to these book stores: NYC: The Strand Boston: The Brattle Bookshop CT: Niantic - The Book Barn. The first two are so famous I assume it was on purpose, but with kids in the car how can you miss a bookstore in a barn with it's own petting zoo. And Free Coffee & donuts for shoppers. And Separate outbuildings for different genres and price points. And a dedicated mystery building. And an extension 10 minutes down the road that sprawls across a few buildings? Did I say Free COFFEE? Outdoor bookshopping under the trees. On the CT coast. No hate my good sir, but I think you must needs return. . .
I hope to be up there again soon. Book Barn is on the top of my list. I may be thanking myself for missing that store. It would have cost me a fortune mailing books to myself from that place. Transporting books on planes without destroying the corners and spines is a real chore.
This was so great Eric! It's nice getting to see the covers. It's hard to believe the East Coast isn't filled with book stores. Maybe the high cost of rent? Lots of great stores here in the Midwest. The Aarons grave was a bummer. He's one of my favorites also. He deserves more love.
Pretty awesome. Brattleboro used to be more book friendly, but I still dig it and can find good stuff. The Moby Dick you saw was illustrated by the amazing Rockwell Kent.
Food for thought. So many books and so little time. Best wishes and happy reading to you.

former RI/Mass resident. Was just up there to visit my folks. And Book Barn is always a day trip. Its the one place you could go weekly.
I totally missed that on the map. I was around that area too.
Oh mon you missed the Book Barn in Connecticut! Gotta be 100,000 paperbacks in 3 properties.
Yeah totally blew it lol.

Really enjoyed this video! Grey Matter Books is right near my house. Great shop!
Great place for sure. So many great books.
If you are ever back in Boston the Brattle bookstore is great.
I wanted to go there so bad. We missed it that morning and they had closed by the time we could get back over there.
Loving the visual feature
I’m glad! I have more going up the next 3 Mondays. Shooting for every week.
@@PaperbackWarrior very cool! I'm also totally digging the short stories too!

There are a Ton, he just seemed to miss them.
You summed it up perfectly, the vibe in Brattleboro is pure Steven King meets Beelzebub.

It was beautiful.
Interesting road trip, though I can’t imagine kids having much fun 😂 but what do I know!
We did make up for it with a trip to Six Flags New England :)
Don’t sleep on Savers. Solid thrift store with paperbacks galore.
Wow you Drip with pretension I couldn't watch the whole video
