We also go to great lengths and great distances to stock our shelves with exciting finds, such as the occasional uncut, deckled limited edition, luxurious leather-bound classics, autographed books, even editions set by hand and printed on hand-made paper. In fact, if you're looking for a rare, out-of-print book, we're just the place to begin your search. We buy or trade all the time. On the other hand, perhaps you have a book of interest to us, such as a first edition printed and published in Maine. We may wish to buy it, if you're willing to part with it. Pay us a visit by the side of the road. Come in and browse, cool off in the summer, or warm up with a cup of hot coffee on a cool autumn or winter day. Wander as you wish. But, if you need assistance, we're here to help you in any way we can. Come share the enjoyment and romance of the search for things old, beautiful, wonderful and fulfilling with us.
