Booklink Booksellers
150 Main St, Northampton, MA
Crema's Take
“Tucked behind Thornes in a deceptively spacious two-story warren, Booklink is a curated haven where discovery feels intentional rather than overwhelming, with staff who genuinely engage with customers and thoughtfully champion underrepresented voices in their selection. The café here serves as the perfect companion to browsing—a quiet, laptop-friendly spot where you can settle in with traditional coffee drinks while surrounded by the kind of carefully mixed inventory (bestsellers alongside rare finds) that sends people home with armfuls of books they're genuinely excited to read. It's the kind of place that feels like stepping into a beloved indie film, where the experience of being there matters as much as what you take away.”

Every time I go to Booklink I come home with 2-3 books that I am super excited to read! They have a truly unique selection of books - a mix of best selling and uncommon books, and many that straddle genres. It’s my favorite bookshop in the world!
Complements Thornes as the cornerstone in the very best way. Quaint and charming like you see in the movies a la You’ve Got Mail. Jessica was very kind and helpful with an inquiry I had the other day which was much appreciated. Nice little visit every time I head to Northampton. Whether you’re 3 or 93, you’ll enjoy your visit undoubtedly.
Such an amazing bookstore. It brought me to tears seeing all the books by Palestinian authors. The seller was very sweet. Highly recommend stoping by.
Vast selection of books packed into a space that is larger than it looks from the outside. Appreciated the displays - thank you for featuring books about Palestine. Lovely staff who connected with us over a shared love of queer fiction. Only wish we could have stayed longer!
Amazing bookstore tucked in the back of Thorne's! We were thrilled to find this place - it looks small, but don't be deceived: it has two stories and is full of more books than you can believe. The prices are really reasonable and their sale section has great deals. The cashier told me the store has been open for 30 years. Absolutely loved the atmosphere, the helpful staff, the selection, and my purchases!
