Shops: Pickwick Book Shop

Pickwick Book Shop is heaven for bibliophiles. When you step inside you are walking among mountains of books piled to the ceiling. The relatively small shop packs in an immense selection of new and used books, organized by genre, which you could spend days combing through. The whimsical and welcoming store front beckons you in for a literary treasure hunt.

The store is locally owned and has been in business since 1945. It is currently run by owner Jack Dunnigan who used to shop at the original Pickwick store on Main Street as a child. Dunnigan acquired the store in 1975 at its current South Broadway location. It is purportedly the only local bookstore left in Rockland county.
