Amherst Books is a locally owned, independent bookshop. We sell new & used books. Our particular strengths include poetry, literature, & philosophy. We carry a large selection of small press titles & literary journals.

Our event mailing list will never be shared. If you want to be taken off at any time, send a message to: events@amherstbooks.com.

Besides our fine trade inventory, we sell textbooks for Amherst College, Hampshire College, & the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. If you have questions about textbooks, go to our textbook page.
