Welcome to Book Trout, the blog for our used and rare book store, Old Saratoga Books. We are located at 94 Broad Street in the upstate New York village of Schuylerville.

Our brick-walled book shop is located in the Bullard Building, an 1870s commercial storefront, and features a wide-ranging selection of used, rare and out-of-print titles with an eye for the unusual and interesting. We stock 50,000 books organized in over 90 categories.

We are particularly strong in the American colonial and Revolutionary War sections, and feature many vintage paperbacks, children's literature, jazz and other music books, handicrafts titles, loads of art books, history of all kinds, and classic novels. Only a small percentage of our titles are listed on-line, so feel free to call regarding any out-of-print books and we will be happy to search our shelves for you.

Stop by sometime and visit our comfortable shop. Our bookstore cat, Sam, will be happy to jump in your lap if given the chance, and Dan and Rachel would be happy to help you with your book searches or to share our favorite authors and titles with you.

Old Saratoga Books is open Wednesday through Sunday from noon to 5 p.m (Eastern Standard Time). The shop is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. We are an open shop but you can also visit us on the web at www.oldsaratogabooks.com to browse our shelves anytime.
