A really lovely bookstore with fun displays and and little bookish gift ideas. The children's section has a fun tiny doorway.

This place is adorable! It even has a little archway into a kids' section! The owners are very sweet and kind, and they have a great selection. The whole place has a very cozy New England aesthetic. They have a good selection of local literature as well as cookbooks and souvenirs, aside from their main catalog. My only suggestion: Have drip coffee and tea for sale in the back so we can sit down and read our purchased books with a hot cup because this place is serene!

Great bookstore, especially for children! They’ve got a cute little space for kids to browse and read books. The selection is huge and they also have a variety of games for families.

Pointedly deficient in adult genre fiction, but that shouldn't bother their core constituency of upper middle class middle aged+ registered Dem Whites buying gifts. The selection included a fair number of good-condition used books sold as new, so between that and the ideologically on-the-nose selection, I don't expect to be back. Great place to buy gifts for the grandkids before family get-togethers at your vacation house though.

What an excellent bookshop! The staff was so friendly and helpful that they couldn't do enough for me. Do yourself a favor and stop by! It won't disappoint.
