If you’re in upstate New York and looking for an independent bookstore to check out, head to Northshire Bookstore in Saratoga Springs. Located about 45 minutes north of Albany, NY, this charming college town is also a popular tourist destination due to the world-renowned Saratoga racetrack.

Northshire Bookstore is over 9,000 square feet and has two floors. Since the second floor is dedicated to children’s books and gifts, you’ll find something for every child in your life here, too! And, aside from having one of the largest selections of used and discount books in the state, you’ll find classic novels, bestsellers, gourmet food items, and unique gifts in the store.
