Hearing the rational "We are a small independent establishment" to try to justify the creation of non-reasonable/non-friendly customer service policies is becoming very old. Booklink is an establishment with bothersome and questionable quirks. I visited this seller with the intention of purchasing a specific book. I examined the half dozen copies on the shelf to choose the one that was in the best gift quality condition. A bearded man (owner) suddenly approaches me with "Can I help you? (No, thank you); Do not disrupt our displays (I am not); What exactly are you doing? (My plan is to purchase a book). He walked away, I purchased the book from the associate at the counter, and I immediately felt like a fool for doing so. Never again will I purchase from Booklink. There are other independent bookstores in this town, nearby towns, and of course on-line.

What can I possibly say about Booklink!? It’s been around more then 30 years for a reason!! I’ve been so many times I can’t even count. I went as a child, a teenager and an adult. There is truly something here for every age! The card and book selection is incredible, the sidelines are amazing, cute, unique and fun. And the staff is alway very helpful and knowledgeable. It is a true gem of the valley and one of the vary best bookstores in the state!

Fabulous bookstore! The staff is knowledgeable about their inventory. So refreshing to have booksellers who actually read books and offer assistance. Their mail order is exceptional and a person answers when you call the store! Highest rating.

Very unfriendly staff. My child sat on the floor to look at a couple of books and they got very upset and took the books away. They have a lot of childrens books and a train table, but do not seem to like children in the store.

My husband and toddler were just harassed by the manager while my son was playing with the trains on the second floor. My husband leaned on a shelf and was gruffly told “THERE’S A SIGN” telling him not to lean on it. When my husband informed him that there was no sign, the manager knocked over a row of books to “reveal” the sign and then told my husband and our toddler son to “take our business elsewhere.” My husband was obviously upset by this obscene behavior and refused to leave immediately leave, and the manager called security on him.

Booklink has an *excellent* curation! I walked in to find some gifts and immediately spied 2 books that could not be more perfect. The bookseller(s) are friendly and also so helpful in suggesting titles.

I had the best experience at Booklink!! Annalie couldn't be more patient or thougthful and helped me pick out a more wonderful book (Farmhouse by Sophie Blackall) for a little family friend. I couldn't be more thrilled!

Booklink is an independent bookstore in Thornes Marketplace in Northampton. It has been at this location for 25 years now. This bookstore is so beautifully set up. The upstairs section is children's books. Given that I am an elementary school teacher, I was very impressed by this section. There was a good amount of books I haven't seen before. They have all the book categories you'd find in most bookstores, but books popped out at me that I hadn't seen before, that I'd love to dive into. Their selection of greeting cards was also beautiful. You won't find Hallmark here, but independent maker cards that are worthy of being framed. I was pleasantly surprised that they only charge $3.00 for them. The downstairs will lead you to more non-fiction and fiction for adults. This bookstore also sells a really nice amount of tea. I didn't get any this time. But the line of bottles of loose tea went on forever. They have some books on sale, unfortunately the sale prices are still very close to the retail price. Booklink is such a lovely independent bookstore. You're guaranteed to find something new here!

Quintessential passive aggressive Northampton virtue signaling and a smug, ideologically regressive shop. I asked if they would carry the current #1 selling book, The Real Anthony Fauci, to which they said, “[We’ll] have to review it before making a decision.” After kindly stressing the importance of carrying this book, I moved on. Once I was out of earshot, they rolled their eyes said to one another, “I would NEVER have that book in MY shop.” Be direct to a customer’s face, don’t hide your judgmental sneer for the next to hear.
