3. Northshire Bookstore
Northshire Bookstore in Manchester Center, Vt., will satisfy the shopper who has become accustomed to the bright lights, clean carpet, and volume of new books at their local Borders or Barnes & Noble. Housed in a sprawling former inn, Northshire has made a business of selling a curated selection of the common and not so common since 1976.
