About The Village Idiom

The Village Idiom is a bookstore located in downtown Hessel that specializes in secondhand books. The Village Idiom contains a wide variety of books, from Children's books to Mysteries, and Do-it-Yourself books to Romance, but their Mystery section is the largest.

The bookstore is perfect for all ages and has a very comfortable and cozy feel to it. The owners, Elizabeth Fels and Gail Legate, are always friendly, ready to help and more than willing to answer any questions you might have. Not only can you buy books, but the owners are always willing to accept books on trade and will give you credit for them, depending on condition and need, that can be used on books bought from the bookstore. And, if you don't use up all of your credit before the bookstore closes for the year, it gets saved and can be used the next year when the bookstore reopens.

So, whether you're vacationing here or if you live here, The Village Idiom is a great place to visit if you're running low on reading materials or just need a present for your favorite bookworm.
