You'll find this inside the Rock City Cafe in the back area, though mind you the cafe opens before the bookstore does. They had a good variety of genres as well as used and new books. Any book lover could definitely find a hidden gem here during their browsing. Prices seemed good including a rack outside marked as on sale books. A perfect idea to open this bookshop in the same building as the cafe. Browse and find that next book you want to read before enjoying a coffee and breakfast or lunch. Worth a visit!

I have followed them on social media and have been wanting to bring my wife here due to her loving books. We came a little later in the day so the cafe will need to be a future visit. I love the fact they had it though and look forward to coming back. It's two levels with the second level being dedicated to kids books. My wife enjoyed our time here browsing the books. The shop is on the smaller side and during a busy day some of the areas may feel a bit congested. They did have a couple chairs around inside as well as a few small tables outside too. Due to the small size you may not find every new release or trendy book but overall it is such a cozy and inviting bookshop you must visit!

My wife and I are slowly but surely checking out all the Sherman's Book Stores. After a day trip to…read moreCamden on the way back home we swung into the Rockland Sherman's! They do have their own parking lot so you should be able to find a spot no issue. If you have visited any of the locations you know it's more than just books and they have lots of gifts and random assortment of items. Book wise you will find old classics as well as trending and new releases. As soon as you step in you are greeted with arguably the section worth your time browsing the most, which is the books on sale. You can find some great deals with many books being under $10. Also throughout the store you will find a bunch of staff recommended book selections. My wife loved browsing the books and could have spent a long while here!

First time visiting this Sherman's location, on a busy Sunday summer day. Firstly I will say…read morealthough we did not grab anything at the cafe it was a great touch to see they have one. Like all the Sherman locations my wife and I have visited they are not just simply a bookstore. They have a wide variety of souvenirs and other goodies you may want to buy. Book wise they have a good variety of new and popular along with classics and organize them neatly in well marked areas by genre with some Maine focused book areas even. During our visit it was very busy and my wife found a couple books that piqued her interest. I do think due to how much of the area is touristy and distance from me I likely wouldn't seek this particular location out again. Much closer locations with better overall set up. Nothing outright negative about this one besides some areas really lacking space for a busy store making it hard to move. Glad to have now visited this one! If you are visiting from away visit here and check out one of the locations of Maine's oldest bookstores, add it to your list. Some other great shops and good spots to eat nearby.

Located on a hill of Belfast's charming seaside strip of shops, this is one of few businesses I've…read morevisited lately where it didn't even occur to me to try to digitally document everything. It's just that analog, I guess; perfectly befitting the house of print that it is. Old Professor's Bookshop is a legit trove where a single shopkeeper lets you do your thing among the unusually well organized shelves where you will find old volumes, esoterica, and past issue academic books, classics, and plenty of cutting edge titles as well. Unlike many other places with the depth and range of selection you can admire here, it is not dusty or creepy in any corner of the shop, but has all the mellowness of an old parlor that is quiet but not uptight by any means. I think anyone who enters this space will go through three stages of exploration: (1) Impulsive ['Wow...I've always wanted a Victorian era record of insects an a 1970s picture book on quantum mechanics!"] (2) Analytical ['What do I REALLY want? Is it worth buying it? Do I NEED it? What does it say of me as person if I a interested or uninterested in acquiring a certain bok? Why can't I think of what I'm looking for in this store, OR in life? What time is it; how long have I been here? How much time is left to browse, and is it worth spending the time required to make a thorough excavation of everything?"] (3) Open-Minded ['I'm sure this is the kind of rare place with a Philosophy section worth seeing, and maybe something will jump out at me if I check that out.'] .....at which point you will find one thing that you were looking for, which you could have gotten off of Amazon (and don't even MENTION e-readers to me) since you first desired it, but just didn't desire to purchase it that way. For me, this thing was "Either/Or" by Danish philosopher Søren Aabye Kierkegaard. I headed up to the little counter, next to which was a rotating display of classical music CDs, and upon which were neatly arranged brochures and fliers for festivals, chamber music performances, and short fiction writers' residencies. "I've been looking for this everywhere!" I said to the man who rang me up. "Looks like you found it," he said, carefully slipping the book into a thin little paper bag just the size of a book. Outside, the thunderclouds opened up onto the street, and I took additional pleasure shrieking and running back to the car with my friend, with the unprotective paper bag and its contents stuffed under my shirt and pressed to my bookish heart.
