Yankee Bookshop - Vermont's Oldest Independent Bookshop

From Luminous Shade

From Luminous Shade poignantly combines Ann McGarrell’s versions of poems from Giuseppe Ungaretti’s Il Dolore (Sorrow) with the paintings of Margaret Lampe Kannenstine.  Their dialogue of words & images emerges from deep losses each artist experienced with the death of a son.

Kannenstine & McGarrell will be appearing on November 26 at 3pm in the Norman Williams Public Library.  Books will be available for purchase at the event & are currently available at local bookshops.

Reeve Lindbergh

Reeve Lindbergh, the daughter of Charles Lindbergh and Anne Morrow Lindbergh has written many childrens books, as well as several memoirs for adults.  Reeve lives in the Northeast Kingdom of VT.

Cabin Songs

The excitement of Wassail Weekend continues at 12:30pm, December 10th on the mezzanine of the Norman Williams Public Library when Spencer Lewis puts words to song and introduces his new memoir, Cabin Songs: Searching Woody Guthrie’s America and Finding Home in Vermont.  Spencer will read selected passages along with live guitar accompaniment, creating what he calls “Storysongs.”   His new book will be available for purchase and signing at this event and is currently available in the Bookshop.

Archer Mayor

Each new book in Archer’s Joe Gunther mystery series  just keeps getting better and better.  His newest book, Tag Man, hit the NYT bestseller list and Kirkus writes, “It’s hard to imagine a more likable thief than Mayor’s Tag Man-or, for that matter, a more companionable lawman than the time-and-trouble-tested Sage of Brattleboro.”

Archer Mayor will join us on December 11 at 1pm in the Dana Library at the Woodstock History Center on Elm Street.  Tag Man will be available for purchase and signing at this event and is available in the Bookshop.  Archer’s events are a “not to miss” experience.
