The Yellow House bookstore is lovely and filled with a curated selection of books. There is a resident cat who is very sweet and enjoys gentle attention. There are also fun quotes and pieces of artwork on the walls and tucked on shelves. Go check it out!

Super cute bookstore in Great Barrington. It is a small bookstore but it carries a little bit of everything. My son found a perfect book to read while on vacation. The person manning the store was super nice. I would definitely go back.

Wonderful place. Found some used fiction here for which I had been looking for some time, and in excellent condition. Inviting and well-organized. Ripley the cat was curious about us but not enough to let us pet him, sadly. :(

Awesome used book store that has all sorts of large works with a Berkshires theme. The selection of old magazines is also impressive and nice to browse through!

- Used book store with the beautiful SMELL of a used book store? Check.- Book store cat? Check. Ripley and he's a gray tabby and my new best friend.- Super friendly owner? Yes, indeed.I easily spent at least an hour in there. I wish the store was closer to where I live so I can buy more books for myself and others.Please, if you are in or near Great Barrington and love bookstores, make it point to stop in.

Every time I come in here I find a book or two I didn’t know I needed. Also cool old postcards! Great selection of used books at reasonable prices and friendly service.

A relaxing atmosphere. There is a great selection of used books of many subjects, places to sit, a friendly cat and fair prices. I found a book there on The Manhattan Project, when Barnes and Noble said there were no titles on the subject. Will always visit when in the area. You’ll always stumble upon a book you didn’t notice before.

Great book store! Such a variety of used and rare books. I haven't bought any books in years, so this was a great place for me to check out. And, as a crazy cat lady, I loved that there was a cat that greeted me at the door.

I didn't end up buying a book here, but it was really fun just to look around. They have all kinds of used books, including some that are very old editions. It has a lot of character since the building is an old house so you step into different rooms where they have different types of books presented. For a small bookstore they offer quite a variety. If you like to read, definitely make sure to stop by if you have time when you're in the area.

An amazing bookstore. A kind of NYC's Strand store.You can find old and new books and most of them are carefully chosen for all kind of buyers/readers.We bought 5 books there.And, hey, none of us wanted to buy one book - we came to the next door store to buy cheese )The employees are very friendly and helpful there also.

Bonnie and nephew Ray have one of the finest small bookstores anywhere but certainly in the Berkshires. You'll find a surprising number of Classics in all genre's and stumble across that book you didn't know was our there until you find it there waiting for you. Given it's size it's a marvel. There cat is an added plus too as friendly as the owners

A great used book store in the ground floor of a yellow victorian. This is a welcoming bookshop with a friendly and knowledgable staff. The sections are well organized and the shelves are always full of quality books at very reasonable prices. They have a good selection from local authors and can help you with finding that book that you are after.

This is one of the best-curated bookstores I've ever been to. Rather than throwing out everything haphazardly, they specialize in a few areas and do it well. Also, Ripley the cat is sweet.

Excellent selection of books on a variety of topics. The history and philosophy sections, toward the back of the store, have a lot of options. Good prices on used books.
