This bookshop is one of my highlights of Harwich Port! The book selection offers so many newly released best sellers. The store is so charming. One of the first things I do when here, is purchase a book or two to enjoy on the beach!

This is a fabulous bookstore and great addition to Harwich Port! The owners have selected a great variety of books and our daughter LOVED the children’s section. We look forward to being ‘regulars’ there.

Wonderful small local Bookshop. I found the most delicious volume of poetry as well as a unique coffee table book gift for my boss. Browsing the curated selection was a delight. Highly recommend stopping by this great bookstore!

Very cute indie bookstore with lots of newer popular reads. Bought Emily Henry and found all of ACOTAR. Not many copies of each one but maybe they had more in the backroom stock. Had lots of hardcovers to also choose from. Everything was very nice.

A quaint bookshop in Harwich that has a little bit of something for [mostly] everybody-- classics, BookTok-approved romances, poetry, mystery, children's books, and selections from local Cape Cod authors. That being said, if you are looking for obscure literature, this is not your place. Everything here is a New York Times-bestseller or bonafide beach read. Despite the Walt Whitman-inspired store name and theme ["The World Below The Brine"], their poetry inventory is rather small. Around 15 individual poetry collections-- including four from Mary Oliver-- were carefully placed on display stands directly in the sunlight. Consequentially, the cover of my copy of Diane Seuss' 𝘧𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘬: 𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘵𝘴 was warped by the sun. When I was there, it was a busy day in Harwich and everybody was packed in the store like sardines. This was, in part, thanks to the gigantic tables which displayed twenty books at best, taking up most of the bookshop. Remove the tables, build one more shelf, open up some space! A small seating area to preview the books would be nice as well.
