What a fun way to spend an afternoon. I could spend hours (or days) roaming the grounds. There are PLENTY of books available and lots of places to sit and read if you would like. I purchased four book for $18! What a steal! And a few were books that would have cost that much EACH had I purchased it on Amazon. I come here every summer before I head to the beach so I can find a great summer book. Rocky Neck State Park (beach) is only a few minutes drive.

This place is an adorable hidden gem, kudos to CT for having the most awesome book store! Stumbled on this on the way back from the outlet mall in Clinton and got lost for over 2 hours looking through so many sections of books. The animals are adorable and add a cute touch. Highly recommend checking it out, even if it's a couple hour roadtrip its worth it.

I've been going to the book barn as long as I can remember. They still buy used books, and have little annexes rooms filled with good stuff. We always get store credit, but never leave with it!

My daughter surprised me and took me to all 3 Book Barn locations. I loved walking through aisles and aisles of books. I was able to find several books in a couple different series I have been working on finding. They were well ordered and in great condition. While I wasn't able to find all of them I am on a great start and plan to go back next time I am that way.

Very likely, they had a couple dozen last time we went. If you live nearby it's worth checking out from time to time, and bring any old books you no longer want to sell.

Do they have the book on New London by Frances Manwaring Caulkins?

Barbara Beitel | Sep 9, 2019
Brandon Campbell | Sep 9, 2019

The definetly have it somewhere. Between that store and the 3 others, not to mention the sheer size of them its there, the best way to find it would be you can ask someone at the front desk because theyll definetly know more then anyone, also their books are organized by genre so if you have the time find the right section and be prepared to browse, but I GUARANTEE you will ñeave that place with at least a few books you cannot wait to read.

Checking elsewhere. The book barn does not have the Full House books. This is not a discussion forum. If you post a "reply" it spawns a new question, not a discussion.
