Our Story
Our bookshop is really about you – passionate readers, people who embrace diversity, children who believe in talking pigs and spiders, and those who simply love the powerful magic of books.

We founded our shop in the historic seafaring town of Searsport, Maine, in 2004. By 2012, we had outgrown our charming (but tiny) space and moved to a much larger space in the neighboring town of Belfast – another historic seafaring town on Penobscot Bay.

A bookstore is one the few places where all the cantankerous, conflicting, alluring voices of the world co-exist in peace and order, and the avid reader is free to choose among them.
