She had trouble with the system and was unable to look it up initially. She led me to the American history section of the store and told me to look there. I asked how things were sorted because they seemed all over the place. She said only fiction is sorted by author! I asked how on earth the rest of the store was arranged. She didn't know. I finally found a different book by the same author in an entirely different part of the store. Weird experience all around

The store was neatly organized and well stocked, like most Bull Moose stores. The staff was super attentive and friendly. You can tell they are well liked by customers/community - they seemed to know everyone that was in there. We just had a quick visit to pick up an online order. It was fast and so easy. The person that helped us was really nice and we could hear that she had a cold of some kind - so I was relieved to see that she was wearing a mask in consideration of others. There were a lot of elderly customers while we were there and I can't imagine an illness would be helpful. The prices, especially for newer releases are very competitive even against giants like amazon. And it's supports Bull Moose - locally owned with much better customer service than big box. They also have never cancelled a pre-order on us, unlike other big retailers. Bonus - their loyalty program is AWESOME!!!!!

This was the second Sherman's my wife and I visited during the day we came here. Firstly I will say…read morethat Sherman's is a local bookstore worth supporting and you'll experience different vibes and experiences at each one. All of them will offer a great variety of classics and new and popular books available. They also all have a great amount of books that are on sale and you can find some great deals on books. A section worth looking through no matter the location. The best thing about this particular location is the fact they aren't crammed space wise and even if it were busy I wouldn't have felt claustrophobic. That positive does make it a better location than a few of the others. Although I do believe this one kinda falls a little short being uninspired and lacking a great charm to it. The staff we interacted with were friendly but it only occurred when checking out. It's a solid location and worth visiting just not our favorite Sherman's. Like all the other locations they have far more than books and lots of items everyone will like!

Shermans aren't all alike, and that's really refreshing! While the bones of the business are the…read moresame, each spot has their own personality and charm. Personally, I like the way the Falmouth store is laid out more (having so many staff and neighbor recommendations immediately at the front of the store). This Sherman's in Topsham feels like it wants you to do your own exploring; it's cleverly/cheekily organized (make sure to look at the bookshelves titles). We were here for at least an hour just leisurely looking through the bookshelves, before making another lap, and another... I'm sure we could have been here even longer, and no one would have minded. It helps that they have chairs throughout! From what I understand, this Sherman's does an exceptional job with special orders, so if you're looking for something specific, reach out to these folks! The staff seemed *very* selectively friendly (I wasn't on the receiving end of that warmth, but I watched them have welcoming, neighborly banter with other customers [regulars, I'm guessing]). This is one of those places you WANT to sign up for their rewards program: you just need to give them your name and phone number and for every $200 you spent you get $10 a credit!

Visited the Tribune (I still call it Books n' Things) today with my sister and had such an…read moreenjoyable experience. Not only is this book store well lit, well organized, and overflowing with beautiful items, but the customer service is out of this world. We entered the store in hopes of finding a gift for our good friends daughter who is turning one in the following days and were overwhelmed with beautiful books to pick from. In addition to the lovely books were adorable toys, puzzles, and clothing options for any little one in your life. (I may have bought my daughter a few things while in the store too.) I saw an adorable little wooden train toy in the play area of the store and brought it up to the front desk in hopes she could help me find another one just like it-- there were no other trains sets in the store but she allowed me to buy the one from the store! I love supporting local businesses and this is one to get behind. Perfect for a gift for any book lover or any person who loves durable, quality, Maine based items. I am excited to make the Tribune my regular book store after moving back to Maine after living in Nevada for the last 5 years. Cant forget to mention there is also an upstairs to the store that I was told has beautiful clothing items. (Unfortunately I ran out of time today and did not get to browse around upstairs.) Be sure to visit the Tribune for any of your book/gift needs-- support local business!
