The great atmosphere from conversation to comfort while browsing.

Nice local bookstore. Decent history selection. Only criticism is the website and what is "available in-store now" versus "available via online order."

Horse-drawn carriage rides right outside of the Next Chapter Bookstore. Part of the holiday celebration! I wish I had taken a picture of the stores’ mascot > Gracie. She is the best, most friendliest dog. I love children’s books and would have liked to see a bigger selection but other than that, a top notch bookstore with extremely warm and friend staff (including Gracie).

I stopped in and was greeted by the owner both human and doggo. Very nice. Did not buy anything, the few books I was looking for were not there. The owner asked if she could order them for me but I didn't live local. Truly worth the visit.

Not open during published hours. I’m attempting to complete the Vermont indie bookstore challenge and the hours at this store are very difficult for someone like me who lives out of state. I’ve been trying to get here for 2 years. I finally drove over an hour out of my way to get here and when I finally found it (the sign is very small and it’s in the back of a parking lot), the store wasn’t even open. The store shares a building with a coffee shop and the workers there said this was normal. I’m all for shopping local, but don’t this store shouldn’t be included in the challenge if it can’t keep consistent hours.

The worst customer service I have ever experienced. I attempted to call to check on an order that had been placed over a month ago and apparently my cellphone came up as spam risk on her caller ID so rather than let me explain why I was calling she proceeded to scream at me that I was spam risk and she was not talking to me and then proceeded to hang up. I tried to call back several times and she would pick up the phone and slam it down. I ended up leaving my office to go to the store in person. Once on-site the owner was all giggly like hanging up on a customer was funny. She made all sorts of excuses as to why it took so long to get the book when in fact she waited to place the order until she had enough to get free shipping. I will never patronize this establishment again and will be sure to let others know

Drove an hour to visit this store to support an independent bookstore in VT as my gf and I are making efforts to visit every one in VT. Had a hard time finding it and then when we did there was just a sign saying they went to the beach and to order online. Might try to visit again but not a great first impression.

I had such a positive, upbeat exchange with owner Cynthia D that I’m writing to say that a short visit to Next Chapter may improve your whole day. NC has a discerning selection of a wide range of books. In my far flung conversation with the owner, we hopscotched enthusiastically from author to author. I bought Anthony Doerr’s new book, two New Yorker 500-piece puzzles, Peter Miller’s VERMONT PEOPLE photo album, and a satirical greeting card. I’ll return to conclude our fun, appreciative conversation about Logger personality Rusty DeWees and cartoonist extraordinaire Jeff Danziger. Five Stars. Don Hooper, Brookfield, VT

One of the best local bookstores around. Cynthia the owner is so kind and helpful. So many different books to choose from or even have her order them for you.

Very friendly helpful people! Last time I called they didn't have the books I was looking for but had them in the store three days later. Note that they have moved and the picture showing their Main Street facing location is now inaccurate.

Cynthia and Next Chapter have been a great source for my book needs during the pandemic. I am able to order online and pick up my purchases from the store. Cynthia has always been super friendly and helpful. Support your local bookstore!
