- BBBeth BorrusNov 15, 20255.0I didn't want to leave. Ever. Bookstores are a weakness for me--this is my favorite of all time. Really! Do not miss.
- DRDan RogersAug 26, 20255.0Astounding selection of rare books. Good mix of cheap used reads and expensive collectors items. One of the best book stores I've been to in Maine.
- PLPaige LymanAug 24, 20254.0Incredible selection and the owner is very knowledgeable. My only gripe is that the books are very overpriced.
- EBErin BradhamAug 23, 20255.0Very special store. A great source for old books if you are interested in history from direct voices, without a current gloss. My recommendation is to go without any expectations of what you may find. Did that today and walked back to Augusta with a backpack full of books that I’m really excited about and probably wouldn’t have seen anywhere else! The store is right on the rail trail. They only accept cash or check.
