It is always fun to find out that the shop has touched someone! Saw this posted by our friend, Penney. Franca has shared images of how our garden ornaments have enhanced her yard and Melissa is sharing weekly updates of Publick House goodies that delight the followers of her influential home design Instagram! No wonder that we don't get to sit down during open hours!

Ditto! Enjoy and be safe.

This winery is in our neighboring town!

NORTHFIELD — For the Camerons, successfully continuing and growing their business through the COVID-19 pandemic was an accomplishment to be proud of. “We expanded our business and created the brewery,” said Leslie Cameron, who co-owns Cameron’s Winery...

Getting excited to open on Monday! Remember that the new hours are not until 11am.

03/14/2023

These book covers are beautiful artwork. I recognize many that have passed across our counter!

03/14/2023

Steve, Chris, Piper, and Reba-Jean have done some major rearranging to accommodate more stock while making the shop easier to navigate. Only a few days till opening!

03/14/2023

We have been working our way through a new estate of books, papers, furniture and more. The snowstorm and half a day of power outage doesn't stop the work.

03/12/2023

We get some pretty interesting stuff to sell. This fascinating shrine will be in the gallery when we open.

03/12/2023

With only ONE WEEK LEFT UNTIL WE OPEN for the season, the fun continues in preparations. Another sign is nearing completion. This is one that will be two sided and will hang like an old pub sign.
This work has been a wonderful healing as my eye sight has returned. It brought back memories of mural painting in the '70's, sign painting for Grossman's Lumber in the '80's as well as creating signs for local businesses like Frank Amarosa's Ashuelot Coffee and Tea emporium! Who remembers their coffee cart at the old flea market, or the charming bistro on main street's river front with its deck out back?

03/11/2023

It has been an all day painting adventure here as we created the new sign for the book barn.

03/09/2023

Spring is almost here! Piper is repainting the days and hours sign for the front of the shop. Monday hours will now be the same as Friday and Saturday. All three days are now to be 11-5. We open on Monday, March 20th , the first day of spring!

03/07/2023

We will have to get some copies of this month's magazine in for the shop opening...Marisca has an absolutely wonderful poem in it! You can also pick it up on newsstands and in better bookstores.

03/07/2023

This is for all of our librarian friends.

02/13/2023

An amazing and poetic review of Marisca's forth coming book!

If you missed the first annual Burns Night celebration in town, here are some of the highlights with a few Publick House regulars!

Piper will be bringing her tartan, harp, and Burns’ songs to Rabbie Burns night tomorrow! Donn your plaid and tam, and be prepared for some haggis! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

This was posted on the site of our favorite bookstore (besides us); the Sanctuary Bookshop in Lyme Regis.

This weird engine is the 18th century equivalent to have a lot of tabs open in your web browser!
It allowed researchers to work efficiently with up to 8 open books at the same time. I guess that the old saying "if it looks stupid but it works, then it's not stupid" applies in this case 😂

In just a split second your world might change.

Yesterday a tractor trailer passed Marisca on 91 and, near the Whatley/Deerfield exit, a block of ice and snow the size of a small refrigerator flew off into her. The lethal white tractor trailer and white cab didn't stop. Not clearing off the tops of the trucks is illegal.

Our little, old Matrix gave its life to save her. We were all shook to the core - tears of relief and long hugs once all together, then an evening of occasional nervous laughter to keep the fear of ' what if ' at a distance. Minor scratches and bits of glass turning up, even after her shower.

Deep breaths and reminding daily to cherish each other.

Bree's daughter, Aonar (Ao) has been spending the winter learning to read. Come spring she should be able to help you find that book you are searching for in the shop.

01/21/2023

Got books? We sure do! Chris has been spending the winter break working to organize our book barn. We have thematic sections and new signage but still the same crazy low prices. Of course this is only a teaser since we don't reopen until March. Till then, keep warm, support your library, and we will see you in the spring!
