The Book Nook - New Owners, New Location, Still A Great Used Bookstore

Sunday, June 16, 2024

Vincent Van Gogh said, "Bookstores always remind me there are good things in this world".   We had the pleasure of visiting one of those good things this weekend when we checked out the Book Nook in Burnt Hills. 


You may remember I did a post about the Book Nook in Ballston Lake back in March of 2023. The shop was very popular but personal circumstances arose causing the shop owner to close the shop. Like all proud business owners, Sue hoped to find someone to take over the shop and love and nurture it the way she and her husband, Phil, had.  Maybe an answer to everyone's prayers, the Hawthorne family came along and purchased the business.  We stopped in late Saturday afternoon and were given the grand tour!  Like so many other small business owners, Bob and Nicole, were welcoming and informative!

The Book Nook relocated down the road a piece to Route 50 in Burnt Hills, a great central location in the Burnt Hills Commons Plaza, just a short hop down the road from Lakehill Rd.  Like Sue and Phil, Bob and Jean and their daughter, Nicole, have a love of books and a knack for creating an organized and beautiful venue for displaying and selling used books.  Neatly organized by subject, avid readers or shoppers looking for gifts, will have an easy time browsing and selecting beautiful quality used books, dvd's, puzzles and even some gift items.  There's a very neat Kid Room that all kids will love to hang out in too.
