Best Places to Get Used Books in the Hudson Valley

I am not a big reader but boy do I love a bookstore. There is something about the atmosphere, the smell of the new books the energy of the old one all coming together in one place.

Give me a bookstore tucked away around a corner in a small town and I can keep myself busy for hours browsing the shelves. I make it a point to find the local bookstore whenever I visit a town.
