I've visited Mavey Books a few times now, and I've enjoyed my visit each time. I think they great selection of books that appeals to many readers - I love their poetry selection, and can only hope for more horror (but I might be the only horror hound in the area). Everything is fairly and reasonably priced, and the staff is very kind. I love having Mavey's in my neck of the woods.

Small bookstore but a well-put-together collection of books. If I lived anywhere nearby I'd be a regular customer.

You walk inside and there are books EVERYWHERE. This is my favorite type of bookstore- where every…read morenook and cranny has a treasure and you can spend a whole day investigating what they have. They were also so nice!

Somebody tell me how this place has been in its current location for 20 years yet my husband and I…read morenever noticed it until last week?! This is everything I want in a used bookstore. It's not slick like a Half-priced Books location, and it is packed with treasure. Mostly decent prices for 2024 and although I would say the science fiction section is either small or hard to find because it's mixed in with a lot of fantasy, it does have one and I bought some things I'm really happy about finding. I even found something from my to-read list that I didn't think I was going to be able to. I also found a copy of an Anthony Trollope book I've wanted to read for a long time, but couldn't find in the libraries I've tried. My husband went straight for the Christmas section and added some really lovely things to our collection. There's no place to sit, but the very nice person working there (the owner, I think) allowed me to rest my bad back in one of her desk chairs. I wish I had known about this place when I had more people to buy books for, but I'm thrilled to have found it now and I can't wait to go back. Next time, I will treat my best friend to a visit here.

When I was a kid, there was an old bookstore in the South Street Seaport in New York City. The…read morestore was located inside a riverfront building that dates back to the late 18th century. The feel of store was unmistakable and left a lasting impression on me. When I enter Baldwin's, I am transported back to that old bookstore of my youth. Walking through four levels of books, it's easy for one to feel as if they've been transported to a bygone era, in which reading was the entertainment option of choice for most and still viewed as the single best escape from a hard worn day. Just when you think they couldn't possibly cram any more books into this old barn, you turn a corner, find all new nooks and crannies, and find yourself drawn to collections from every era over the last century. There's something other-worldly about Baldwin's that is hard to describe, but it's very easy to lose yourself for hours. The title selections cover every topic under the sun, with many of the offerings being long out of print and only available on the secondary market. The prices are reasonable, but make no mistake, this is not a discount bookstore. This is an independent seller, with books that you're not going to necessarily find at your big chain options. The service is friendly, very much in the vein of a mom and pop/private business. They conveniently provide a map so you can find your way around, and trust me it is useful. The proprietor is more than happy to guide you in the right direction, or chat about your purchases, or answer any questions you might have. If you have a friend or family member, who is a book lover, this is a must see destination for them.

Beautiful spot, great service, and a massive collection of used books. I came on my birthday and it…read morewas a blast to just walk up all of the floors (I think there were 4) and see what they had. The only thing I wish is that they'd had a bigger collection of Easton Press/Franklin Press books - I came looking for more classics and I found this particular collection to be a little small. Otherwise, amazing spot.
