Welcome to the Cherry Valley Bookstore.

We are an independent bookstore located at 81 Alden Street in historic Cherry Valley, New York. We specialize in used and rare books. With more than 15,000 volumes, our collection is expansive and quite eclectic — ranging from New York history to vintage mystery.

The Cherry Valley Bookstore, formerly Clough’s Bookshop, has been operating as an independent bookstore at the same location in historic Cherry Valley for more than 20 years.

The new owners, Bill & Lynne Compton, purchased the store in June 2019 and pledge to keep it the same quaint space filled with an eclectic collection of fiction, poetry, drama, and non-fiction that its patrons have become accustomed to over the years. Our selection of books date from the early 19th century to the present and covers nearly every genre imaginable. If we don’t have it, we will try to find it for you.

Currently, we have an extensive selection of children’s books, including classics, vintage book series, and many favorites that have been enjoyed for generations.

Our Sci-Fi section is out of this world. We have a large selection of hardcover and paperback science fiction, including many collectible paperbacks for the enthusiast.

Mysteries and thrillers abound. We have enough whodunits to keep you intrigued for years to come.

Online shopping is still in the works. We often feature new acquisitions and special treasures on our Instagram feed and Facebook page. If you see something you like, let us know and we can invoice you and arrange for shipping. We feature books from our Special Collection in our Etsy store, and add new books on a regular basis. You can find the link below.
