What a delightful visit to the Village Bookstore. The staff and owner were helpful as I tried to pick out a new book. It was refreshing to see a parade of young people come through selecting books and other things. I was pleased to see a group of high school students selecting books for a book drive they had held. They were donating the YA books to a local organization and had received a $100 gift card from an anonymous donner. It is wonderful to see books are still relevant. Thank you!

The Village Bookstore has been a shining beacon during this lockdown. Shopping online is super easy with their system and in stock books can be picked up via contactless delivery the following day. Books on special order have come in quickly. The owner even wrapped my books free of charge upon hearing that they were a gift. Independent bookstores are so important to our communities and I am so proud to support them because they lift us up. The few extra dollars it costs to purchase a book at list price is helping to literally save lives so please consider doing your part.

Excellent selection of trade paperback fiction. Also a strong selection of the 'books in the news.' This intimate bookshop is one of the few independents left in Westchester Co. It's an important store to have in Pleasantville. Having s strong independent bookstore is vital to the culture of the village. This is an excellent store and one that deserves and earns its business.

It's a really cozy little bookstore that has a very nice selection of books, and they have a really nice kids' book area and in all, it's just a really stellar place.

A relatively small bookstore but with a carefully selected excellent collection. Knowledgeable owners. What a local bookstore should be.
A nice combination is a good movie at Jacob Burns, and a trip across the street to a fine book shop.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Joe H.Manhattan, NY1172631047Feb 22, 2017
This is a nice local business. Very friendly and helpful. Very convenient location. I love supporting local businesses. Clean store and a nice layout. The one issue I have had (which is why it's a four and not a five) is inventory. A bunch of times they have had to order a book because they didn't have it. Now it's. A smaller store so of course they don't have the capacity to carry multiple copies of everything. Having said that, they have a quick turnaround when thy need to order a book. Bottom line this is a good store to support.

Great to have a convenient store in the village, from which to buy or order books for our avid reader grandkids. The kids' ages vary and so does their taste in reading material. We have been successful in finding books for them in this shop so close to our home in Pleasantville.

Small but more than sufficient to cover the latest reads. It doesn't have a place to sit and enjoy coffee and your book but it's so close to wonderful places to do just that it's no bother. Although I'm a huge supporter of the small independent bookstores I have to be honest...so overall it's A-OK

Very cute bookstore with a nice selection of books. Really sweet staff. There's no sale section so you're paying retail prices for your books, but it's worth frequenting and supporting to keep this little gem around!
