“There are few people better suited to the task of selecting books of literary merit than the folks at the Odyssey Bookshop…. a wonderful way to be introduced to great authors." — Ken Lopez, Bookseller, Former President, Antiquarian Booksellers’ Association of America and Member of the Odyssey Bookshop's First Editions Club since May, 2001.

“What does it mean to offer sustenance? For many years, I spent a lot of time driving from New York City to southwestern New Hampshire. It was a time in my life when things weren't always easy. The highlight of those long journeys following the Connecticut River was discovering the Odyssey Bookshop and its First Editions Club. Month after month over the years, those moving, hand-picked titles always seemed to be waiting to lift me up, calm me down, and bring beauty back into my world. What a privilege it is to have a bookshop with great taste and a big heart waiting for us all on our journeys.” – Gregory Brown, author of The Lowering Days.
