[@flippinohio]

Both stores look awesome! I wish I was closer. Congrats!

[@thebookpeddler]

@@flippinohio thank you!

[@ndnnation2259]

You have so much to be proud of. You're doing a great job. It looks great. Wishing you the best of luck.

[@thebookpeddler]

Thank you very much!

[@littleredflying-fox]

I love what you've done with the original shop, it's so much more open and you can see all the books!

[@thebookpeddler]

Thank you! Yeah I wanted to open it up, way to congested for years and now I can display my better books as well!

[@auntk1353]

Phil, it is a remarkable and wonderful transformation. I was smiling ear to ear as you were touring us around both buildings. can’t wait to see it in person. Kudos for your powerful vision.

[@thebookpeddler]

Thank you so much! Always have appreciated your support and can't wait to show ya! ❤️

[@useupwearout5029]

So happy to see the flowers and plantings outside...a nice greeting! (great Hostas!) You put so much thought into the feel of the interiors, and it shows! It's a good thing I don't live nearby, it looks like a place I'd SPEND too much time in! I love that you got your sign hanger on "a pick"! A true sign of frugality...and creativity! The placards info in front of many of your books in your first shop should be very appreciated. Your hard work will pay off, in more friends and connections with other book people. As far as *Recharging your town*...WOW! Inspiring work! It's not just the business...it's the life! Great work.

[@thebookpeddler]

Thanks for the commeny Amy! Glad you think it looks good! Also thanks for participating in the giveaway, hope you win! Btw, I don't hate New Hampshire haha just the cold! Thanks for all your support 😊

[@mikeelizarev4563]

Carson and Lani love it uncle Phil. Truly inspiring! Keep up the good work and we love you. The Swartwood family

[@thebookpeddler]

Love you guys!

[@joecordero9650]

You've done an amazing job preparing for opening day. Both stores have a great day look and feel. Keep the ax near by at all times just in case anyone tries to haggle prices. I hope you have a huge turnout. I love the job your mom did with the curtains. Much luck to you and your business Phil you deserve it. ❤

[@thebookpeddler]

Thanks Joe, appreciate all the support!!

Thank you!

[@n3v3rforg3t14]

Shop looks great, I like the book tags to read.

[@thebookpeddler]

Thank you!

[@christinebarone7496]

WOW Phil, both shops look pretty epic. We can see a lot of work went into all the transformation. Nothing like having a good team behind you to help out right ( family), LOL. Onwards and upwards to you as you go forward with both properties. Thanks for the tour.

[@thebookpeddler]

Thank you so much for the comment and appreciate all your support throughout the years! Glad you wnjoywd the tour, maybe someday I'll giveya an in person one! Thanks Christine ❤️

[@christinebarone7496]

HAHA, I am about to come back to the USA twice before the end of the year, but never as far as where the shop is Phil, I wish. It's funny how we readers have bookshops on our lists to visit when we travel to places. I have now added The Book peddlar to my list up in Smithville flats. LOL

[@thecommontoad59]

Man, this to me really is what a used book shop(s) should look like. Just great balance of high and lower end, totally unpretentious but classy, great sense of importance of regional collection. Also really like the balance you've got between the physical shop and the online; giving locals some first dibs. If I ever pull off a fraction of this I'll be whistling...

[@thebookpeddler]

Appreciate the comment, thank you. It's taken a lot of work, it's come a long way, it'll only keep getting better. You're comment is exactly what I've been continuously working towards. Glad you enjoyed the video.

[@maxruback7633]

Very proud of you Phil, and to have a tour of the shop was exciting, looks so good and you are going to excel beyond your vision....

[@thebookpeddler]

Thanks Max!

[@HeleneVachon-i5w]

Wow Phil So happy and excited for you! Both shops look amazing with such attention to detail. It appears to be truly your calling to be a Book Peddler. Now you are town treasure. Congratulations! I look forward to visiting your shops in the future and definitely want to buy a t-shirt. All the best from the Book Peddler in Tennessee.

[@HideAndRead]

I Love how store 1 looks, and store 2 looks like Money machine. I was really hoping to make it up there for the opening, but life is not co operating at the moment. Off to fill out the questionnaire ✌️

[@thebookpeddler]

Looks awesome! Have a great opening!

[@thebookpeddler]

Thank you!

[@oldnndway4641]

Place is looking GOOD, Phil ! Wish I could be there for your Grand Opening, but it's a long way from the right side of Texas. Won't even be able to watch the live, on-line, opening as I am going to a library sale on Saturday about 4 hours away from here. But, non-the-less, I wish you well and hope you have a GREAT day ! I sure would like to pick through that hunting and fishing section and I can see many a jam session on your patio. Be sure and video them when they happen. Good luck buddy, oldnndway (old and in the way)

[@thebookpeddler]

Thank you very much, always appreciative of your support! Good luck on the book pick!

[@marylynnsutter393]

So magical!! I would never leave!! lol

I'm in Australia so can't enter the competition, but sending my best wishes for your opening... very exciting and I hope that the day is a great one for you! Lots of good sales & great customers. Best of luck & wishes Phil :)

[@thebookpeddler]

[@jimpoole3622]

That is the most quaint bookstore I've ever seen!! Nice job Mr. Book Peddler :)

[@thebookpeddler]

Thank you!

[@bestlife8709]

very well done!!!! Wow what a change in both places` praying your opening day is wonderful!

[@thebookpeddler]

Thank you very much!

[@3riversbooks]

I’m a New Yorker as well. Love what you’re doing. Would the back be open to sit and read ? Some tables ?

[@thebookpeddler]

For the opening definitely not, there will be probably way too many people. I do have chairs and everything and people can sit on the front porch and read as well. Eventually in the new building I may create a large lounge area upstairs, that'll be my summer project 😊

[@BookZealots]

The store and displays look great! Do you ever buy classics? I know you once had a jane Austen book and someone beat me to it. How much is your very large 1776 David McCullough book, the one in the case? (@9:40 in the video). I'm interested in American history nonfiction and vintage and classics; Trollope, Austen, Dickens, Hardy, etc.

[@thebookpeddler]

Thank you! Yeah I do it just depends what the next book pick has in store. I sold that book this last weekend believe it or not! If I get another in I'll try to keep you in mind

[@BookZealots]

@@thebookpeddler Thank you. I'll check in periodically too and harass ya. LOL

[@thebookpeddler]

@@BookZealots good I need it sometimes 😊

[@My_Nannie]

Great job. ‘Neighbor!’ - See you Saturday! Good Luck! (Michael and Sheryl Evans, Smithville)

[@thebookpeddler]

Thank you!! We'll seeya soon!
