I stopped in at the Book Center was I was in Cumberland for a work meeting earlier this week. I…read morelove a bookstore and couldn't resist popping in for a browse. The store is very large, but with a sparse inventory. There are a few new books up front and then more used books (but it's definitely not as well stocked as most used bookstores I've been to) in the back. I was able to find something interesting and random that I'm sure I wouldn't have found anywhere else, and the customer service while checking out was great. The highlight of my visit was definitely petting Alice, the store cat. I woke her up from her cat nap on her cat couch, and we had a nice little cuddle session. She's a charmer for sure. Not a bad place to browse if you are in the neighborhood and have some time, but it's definitely not packed with books to browse through!

I love bookstores so I was excited to stop in by The Book Center. And I was so terribly…read moredisappointed. I walked in and the two people working didn't even acknowledge me. The selection of new releases was minimal at best, and though there are a lot of used books, I didn't find anything of interest. They do have a small section of local books (about the area or from area authors) but when I asked for help/recommendations, I was just led to a section and left there with no guidance. Sooooo unfortunately, only two stars. However, this place has a bookstore cat, Alice, and if I could give her 10 stars, I would. The main reason to come here, TBH.

They have board games, trains, remote control helicopters, and all sorts of stuff. They are mostly open 10-6 and closed on Sunday. It would be cool if the advertised outside of their store front with some wind socks, and if they carried more lawn games.

The 1-star review is confusing & seems unwarranted to me. The prices are high, yes, but many of the items they sell are handcrafted and unique and as a small business prices are higher than, yes, Walmart. They have a bunch of Deep Creek Lake-themed gifts as well including $14 coffee mugs. It's a good shop for supporting a local business.
