A follow-up to my post yesterday about our bookish wedding.
First floor, in the back
Comfy chairs by a window overlooking the river
A view of the Night Kitchen’s deck, where we were married
First floor, right side room — poetry and fiction
The river and falls.
The deck where we were married
Our son is something of an indiscriminate reader.
He thought this was my tote bag, mysteriously transported from home
That path on the left was our “aisle.”
This patio is surrounded by flowers, and it’s where we went after the ceremony for champagne and toasts before lunch.
Here’s one view of the mill (that’s me in blue, taking a picture of my husband).
Upstairs on the second floor — a little reading or writing nook.
Shakespeare and theatre section
The large upstairs nonfiction room; to the right, out of the frame, is a walkway, another entrance.
old typewriters above the narrow stairs
This is us! Three years later . . .

Wow!!!! Ok I totally understand why you got married here, this is one of the best bookstores I have ever seen! The location, the floorboards, the typewriters, the nook… Just beautiful. I really hope I manage to get here one day!!
It is so beautiful! And here’s its motto: Books You Don’t Need in a Place You Can’t Find.
I hope you find your way there too!
I actually just googled it and found the website!! I’m hooked. Thankyou! (Shame I live in Australia, ill get there one day!)
If you’re ever stateside, let me know and I’ll send you directions! 🙂
I love it! I’m from MA so I think I can make it there one of these days (I have been to Amherst once and remember it being just beautiful there) 🙂
It is! We live outside Boston, and it’s always worth the two-hour trek to get out there!
Love this, Carolyn! 🙂
Something about the layout and the way the books meander on the shelves along stairways and wooden halls reminds me very much of City Lights in San Francisco. Of course, there sin’t the gorgeous natural setting with that urban book landmark!
I’d commandeer that writing nook for sure! Love that picture of you two. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for taking a look! I was in Berkeley/San Francisco for about three months when I was 19 (lo these many years ago), and one of my biggest regrets from that stay is that I didn’t get to City Lights. The folly of youth, I suppose. Maybe some day!
