Item Description
Woodstock's Independent Bookstore since 1978!
Named after original owner Ellen Shapiro’s favorite Doris Lessing novel, The Golden Notebook opened its doors on June 23, 1978. Shapiro and business partner Barry Samuels leased the storefront that had formerly been Joe Forno’s Colonial Pharmacy. Forno built 29 Tinker in 1947 with lumber from Nelson Shultis’ mill in Wittenberg; under his kindly supervision Colonial became the town’s principal destination for ice cream.
When the Colonial moved to Bradley Meadows, 29 Tinker languished for several years – used occasionally as a headquarters for the local Republican Party – until Shapiro, who’d been waitressing at the Threepenny Restaurant nearby, approached Forno about renting the space. Samuels, who’d first met Shapiro at Rutgers in the 1960s, was visiting his brother in Woodstock at the time, and quickly got on board. Together they took out a Small Business Administration Loan, and with the help of legendary publisher Betty Ballantine renovated and stocked the store.
