"It's always fun to dash away to a quintessential New England hamlet," the Boston Herald wrote in its profile of Ludlow, Vt., home to the Okemo Mountain Resort as well as a Main Street that "is a quick strip of old-school shops and stores that, as one drives by quickly, may seem inconsequential. But when you park your car, get out and walk, you find a whole lot of really cool things."
Among the "cool things" highlighted was the Book Nook, "an old-school, independently owned book store that boasts it has 'Vermontitude.' The Book Nook offers bestsellers right beside unexpected choices, and a wonderful kids section alongside a long table with some cool 'literary gifts.' But my favorite two things about the store are the owners--they know their stuff and are always willing to chat--and the Vermont section where you'll find both books about Vermont and by people from Vermont. Every town needs a Book Nook!"
