"As winter draws closer and dusk settles at 4:30 p.m., the tendency is to batten down the hatches, fire up the wood stove and curl up on the sofa with a book," Upstate Dispatch observed in recommending "a cozy winter's evening" in Hobart, N.Y. The town is known as the Catskills' "book village," and is "modeled after another British tradition: Hay on Wye's annual book festival." A special shout-out was given to Creative Corner Books.
