Broadside Bookshop

I like this bookstore small and intimate. I like It that they sell cards and other things that you might need for a present.

This is a great bookstore. I order all my books here. ( Especially check out the items at the counter for great holiday gifts.) --Sue

A good, quality bookstore, if not of the size of the dear departed Beyond Words, but Broadside has staying power: I started frequenting Northampton in 1982, and while so much in downtown Noho's proven ephemeral, Broadside stays the course. A good solid collection, progressive even by Northampton's unabashedly liberal traditions, and good service. The only fly in the ointment is that it's pricey, but not a whole lot on Main Street is anything but.

Very cute and packed little bookstore! Was looking for Where the Wild Things Are and the bookseller tried helping me find it for a good while! Even though we didn’t find it, they were very attentive and REALLY wanted to find it lol great new release selection and great classic selection!!

i avoid this place. honestly why is a bookstore in the queerest town in massachusetts still stocking harry potter stuff in 2025? those books directly funnel money to anti-LGBTQ orgs. gonna go elsewhere until this shop finds its moral compass.

Friendly staff, good selection, local authors, and the ability to get books not in stock. Love Broadside!!

Amazing selection, amazing staff.

A must-visit in Northampton. Very well-curated selections, nice variety of composition and decomposition notebooks as well as journals, some nice gifts too. I especially like the nonfiction displays here.

I visit Broadside every time I am in Northampton. It has a great selection of books, as well as postcards, cards and funny fridge magnets. Staff is very knowledgeable and helpful.
