CBS News: “Nestled in the Northern Catskills, the tiny village of Hobart, New York, is home to around 400 residents, and millions of fascinating characters, all stacked high on shelves. Hobart is a book village. Within one brief block of Main Street, there are seven different bookstores. When Kathy Duyer retired, she moved to Hobart to surround herself with beautiful scenery and plenty of books. She initially had no intention of selling them – she was buying them. “For about the first two years we were here, we were the best customers of the booksellers that they’d ever had,” she said. But she and her husband eventually opened two small shops – one, Creative Corner Books, that sells cooking and crafting books; and another, New York Books and Ephemera, focused on all aspects of New York. “We really try not to overlap very much on what we carry so that there’s something different in every shop,” Duyer said… You won’t find all the latest bestsellers in Hobart; almost everything here is secondhand. And nobody here is getting rich. For the shop owners, these stores are a labor of love – a new chapter in their lives. Two dollars will get you a book and a cookie at young Mixali Asgarian’s table at the Hobart Farmers’ Market. Who knows? He may one day open the village’s eighth bookstore…”
