a reader's bookstore

   Follow the scent of rosemary to The Village Book Shoppe, located just steps off Trade Street with plenty of parking across Maple Street.

   Enjoy the ambience of shops of long ago when you step through our door. We strive to live up to our designation as "a reader's bookstore," with high-quality used books for all ages on a wide variety of subjects and from a diverse range of authors.

   Comfortable chairs invite browsers to stay a while, and children are welcome to enjoy the coziness of their own nook, well-seasoned by our own children who have, quite literally, grown up among the shelves.

   The great selection of fiction and nonfiction includes paperbacks as well as hardcovers. Titles are carefully chosen by the store's book-loving owners and are reasonably priced.

   Selection, organization, quality and affordability are hallmarks of our store, a Tryon landmark since 1997.
