A Republic of Books is Available Now!
When a narrator is not so much unreliable as imperfect, A Republic of Books might be a first refuge for scoundrels and saints. The perfect bookshop might not be, but then again . . . When failure is an option, a nation of books would have to be a republic as much as a state of mind. A Republic of Books, the newest published novel by Vincent McCaffrey, is now available at our store and through Amazon.

New Hampshire Magazine Visits Our Shop
Rick Broussard, editor of New Hampshire Magazine, described the feeling of visiting our bookshop in Lee:
The rustic floorboards are steady underfoot, making not a squeak to distract the minds of those who search the shelves. Each nook and surface and collection of curiosities is arranged by careful hands to facilitate curiosity and a sense of place in this cosmos of books. The labels defining areas of interest are thoughtfully hand-penned, suggesting that there are human guides nearby should a browser decide to come up for air and inquire about a specific title.

Beloved Newbury Street used bookstore finds new life in 18th-century N.H. barn
Reporter Brian MacQuarrie visited our humble little book barn and then shocked us with a story on the front page of the Saturday edition of the Boston Globe!
The piece is lovely and captured the essence of why Vince & Thais reopened Avenue Victor Hugo books after a long hiatus from retail bookselling:
Now, the books have moved to the quiet center of this southern New Hampshire village, waiting to be held, and opened, and plumbed for the magic that lies inside. It’s a magic that McCaffrey and his wife, Thais, couldn’t resist rekindling, with or without the prospect of commercial success.
