Welcome

Deborah welcoming you in

The Village Book Shop has closed its doors but we have not left your lives. We will continue to be online and take special orders via phone and email. Events and groups that called VBS home are in the process of being relocated.

Please bear with us while we transition from a brick and mortar style shop to an online version of ourself. Thank you for your patience.

In 2015, Warren Buffett was the third in the ranking of billionaires according to The Bloomberg Billionaires Index, second only to Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates and owner of Inditex clothing manufacturer Amancio Ortega. Only in the first 6 months of 2016, his fortune increased by $ 2.7 billion and was estimated at $ 65 billion (against 89 Gates and 73 Ortega), and the amount of donations to philanthropic organizations, primarily to the foundation founded by Bill and Melinda Gates, amounted to $ 2.9 billion. There are many good books about Warren Buffett, The Snowball is one of them. A talented entrepreneur and intellectual who possesses amazing intuition and even received the ironic nickname of "Oracle", is known for his commitment to long-term investments and personal frugality. As for political preferences, during the election campaign for the presidency of 2016 he actively supported and sponsored Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.
