“an independent bookstore in the original space”

In 1978, Barry Samuels and Ellen Shapiro leased an empty storefront in the middle of Woodstock, NY. They renovated the store with the help of legendary book publisher Betty Ballantine. A truck-load of books was purchased from a distributor in New York City, put on the shelves in Woodstock and a bookstore was born. In 2011 the Golden Notebook continues to be an independent bookstore in the original space. In a town full of writers, artists, musicians and iconoclastic ne’er-do-wells the emphasis is on quality literature. Stop by the store! Our engaged and experienced staff will share their hands-on knowledge and help you find the books you want and the books you need. On the beach in Goa? On the N train in Brooklyn? We are here for you online as well. We have lots of books to recommend and we will ship anywhere. E-Books too. In the meantime check out our events, plan your next visit to Woodstock and come visit a real, live bookstore!
