10 Broad Street Kinderhook, NY

On my way to a day of bookshop hunting in Dutchess County in New York’s Hudson Valley, I detoured into the heart of historic Kinderhook village. Overlooking the quaint crossroads downtown I found Kinderhook Books. Small tables with brief but intriguing menus waited out front, my first hint that this bookstore is much more than a mere shop to pick up the latest bestseller.
