You'll be greeted by the magnificent smell of fine antique books.  Walk in and indulge the rest of your senses, while browsing this gracious old bookstore.  Packed with books, including what is far and away the best collection of first- and early-edition Oz books I've ever seen.   A gem of a place!

I have to there every time I go to the Cape. Have found books that can't be found anywhere else.

They have a great selection of used and antique books, and a hugely helpful staff.

Love this spot, leave lots of time to browse! So much to see and enjoy.

Kindof intimidating because of the floor to ceiling bookshelves that are probably the height of the
store (maybe 10 feet or more?)  Anyway, this business has been around for about 50 years and
before this housed books, it was a grocery store (dry goods + groceries) and the bookstore has been
in this location for about 50 years I think.  I always stop in and have been for the last five years or so when we vacation in Cape Cod.  Because of the lack of chain bookstores (really only Barnes and Noble remains) in the area, local businesses like this seem to thrive and we are the better for it.  They will also search for books for you and the staff is very knowledgeable.
