House of Books

A drive and visit to Kent, Connecticut is not complete without a stop at the House of books. A beautifully designed store with knowledgeable staff and thorough and thoughtful staff. Book pic selections make this bookstore a one-of-a-kind gem. The children section is filled with wonderful books for kids of all ages and the adults section offers a variety of books in different genres. I highly recommend you check out this independent bookshop.

Absolutely a must-visit if you love books 📚 & the other humans that love them. Also there's pens and other little treasures. Friendly and well kept store.

Staff is courteous and knowledgeable. The remodeling is amazing... bright open store has modern clean lines but with a cozy feel. There seems to always be an event and the Where's Waldo hunt and party sure is a hit in the summer!

Beautiful store, loved how they showcase the books, so many great options to choose from! Very welcoming kids section that just invites them to pick several books.

A wonderful selection of books, knowledgeable staff and great recommendations! Plus, they're always happy to order whatever weird title I end up craving or needing for my bookclub and are prompt in getting them in and on my shelves. One of my favorite bookstores of all time- I'm proud to call House of Books my hometown bookstore.

Lovely shop with excellent, well-curated stock. A great place to discover new books you haven’t heard of, not just the usual bestsellers. Their selection of NYRB titles is especially nice.

Great bookshop in Kent. They have finally, finally, moved back to their old, newly renovated, location. It’s really nicely done. And, yes, they do have a really nice selection of books. The books were nicely laid out and it was very inviting. Many of the books had synopses written by the staff who were also very helpful in their recommendations. Finally,also a great place to pick up a jigsaw puzzle. They have a large variety of New Yorker puzzles from which to choose. Support your local bookshop and buy a book there!

House of Books is a real quaint bookstore, their selections are many. You can find famous title books, and books that's not too familiar. I really enjoyed visiting this establishment today, I would recommend this book store to anyone who love books. Not to mention the location in kent has many more establishments worth visiting.
