Ten of the Coziest Bookstores in the United States

We love small Indie and Independent bookstores. If you’ve seen the film You’ve Got Mail, you will know exactly what we’re talking about!  The cozy atmosphere is welcoming and almost magical for booklovers.   There is something amazing about holding a book (instead of an e-reader).   Whether it’s a newly arrived book, or one that has been on shelves for years, there is just something about the smell of a book and its’ pages.

We recently dove into our directory and searched the coziest bookstores we have listings for.  Here, in no particular order, are ten of our favorite small bookshops across the United States!
