Bookshop For Sale by Owner, Woodstock NY
Dear Fellow Independent Booksellers:
After 32 years in business, The Golden Notebook, located in Woodstock, New York, is looking for a new owner. This step is being taken because the illness of one of its owners makes it impossible to provide the hours and service that the community has come to expect and deserve.
The Golden Notebook is housed in a building it owns right in the center of the Town of Woodstock. It consists of a general bookstore with approximately 750 square feet of selling space and an upstairs stock room and office. Right next door is our children’s bookstore in a rental space with approximately 600 square feet of selling space and access to a basement for storage. Both stores have garnered a well-deserved reputation and have many established customers. Our goal is to find a buyer who will continue to maintain it as an independent bookstore.
Please direct inquiries to ellen.tgn@gmail.com
Sincerely,
Ellen Shapiro, co-owner









I am a Woodstock resident and a huge fan of the Golden Notebook. It is a beloved institution in the center of town… a town with a lot of readers and a lot of weekend tourists. Please help us find an independent bookstore to carry on the Golden Notebook’s legacy.
