Who We Are

Boswell's Books is a small independent bookstore offering new and used books, music, gifts, magazines, puzzles, games and cards, as well as movie and book-on-tape rentals.   We special order books regularly and easily, and under most circumstances there is no extra charge for this service.  We are a general bookstore with a wide range of continually-growing categories, including a section dealing with local authors.  

Where We Are


Boswell's Books is located in the heart of Shelburne Falls, Massachusetts, about 10 miles west of Greenfield (take Exit 26 from Interstate 91). From Greenfield, take Route 2 West (The Mohawk Trail) until you see the signs for Shelburne Falls and Route 2A. 


When We're Open

Generally, our regular hours are:
                        Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday: 11-6
                        Thursday: 11-7
                        Sunday: 12-4
                        Monday: Closed
Between Thanksgiving and Christmas and between Memorial Day and Labor Day, we are open Mondays and extend Sundays, being open both days 11-6.  Sometimes we come in early or stay open late for special reasons, like the 3rd Friday Gallery Walk in Shelburne Falls -- feel free to call and see if we're open outside the stated hours.

Ordering Information

Most special orders can be obtained from Ingram Book Company, our regular book distributor.  We simply add your book to the weekly order.  You pay nothing for shipping and nothing for special ordering the book.  We put the orders in on Sunday nights, and books come Tuesdays and Wednesdays.  We will call you as soon as your book comes in.  This process accounts for virtually all the special orders we do.  We can also special order books from publishers and authors, and do out-of-print and used book searches; there is a charge for these services, on a case-by-case basis.

Orders from our local customers (for books which will be picked up at the store) may be made over the telephone or via e-mail.

Mailorder customers can order books by telephone, letter or via e-mail. All mailorder requests should include your name, address and daytime telephone number, and as much information as you have about the book you'd like to order. Shipping charges are $3.00 for the first book and $.50 for each additional book.
