Reviews

This intimate, well-stocked independent bookstore is a community treasure and a find for visiting booklovers.  Beth and Gary (well-known local poet) are not only welcoming and extremely well-versed about books, but they're also both informed and supportive of matters close to home and have a wider perspective from their travels and network of literary colleagues.  They carry an excellent selection of current fiction and poetry and books on the environment and Maine, as well as a strong children's section and an unexpectedly deep backlist of paperback fiction, considering the cozy confines of the space.  They often offer signed first editions of new novels by local authors and even those further afield, which is a bonus.  In addition, there's a wonderful selection of cards and calendars.

I love books!! They were helpful in finding a journal for me, and let me take a dozen bookmarks for my collection.
