Competing with Borders on the same block are North Country Books and the Crow Bookshop. Both are used bookstores with slight differences. The Crow Bookshop on Church Street carries a wide range of titles in every conceivable genre.

The Crow Bookshop also encourages its customers to sell their used books at the store.
