It’s All About Merritt

Merritt Bookstore in Millbrook, NY is the coziest bookstore I’ve ever been in. Comfy couches and chairs are scattered throughout for a quick, or lengthy (they don’t mind), perusal. The kids section is stuffed with great books you don’t see anywhere else. The people who work there love books and love to share what they know.

Owners Scott and Alison Meyer are committed to supporting the arts and the community. They host music and art shows as well as author readings, and were the masterminds behind last spring’s popular book festival. The upstairs area of the store is a big, open gallery space where we (thanks again Bill!) just installed a show of my Dutchess County Fair photos. Go on down to the store, enjoy the art and buy a book!
