Very cute book store, there is place to sit and read. Lot of different books and toys. Kids love that bookstore so much to explore. They also have very cute kids cafe there. I would definitely recommend to visit when you in neighborhood.

Bring your own bag! Or else pay $10 for one.

I love most to all bookstores, but this one made me kind of sad and annoyed. This was next to Jared Coffin where I stayed and was my first stop after I checked in, but it left a bad feeling in me. First off, I came into the store and there were two ladies behind the register chit-chatting and gossiping loudly and being judgemental toward someone they knew on island. Didn't even acknowledged me! Whatever, I get it. It's a bookstore, not everyone comes in buys. But they kept going on and on gossiping I didn't even get a chance to ask about Nantucket books I could get for gifts (they did not have a good selection FYI). The ladies continued to chit-chat as I roamed the store to the point that I walked into what looked like their staff area and no one noticed. I did find a few things, $70+ worth of things! And guess what? The one of the ladies goes, "Looks like you'll need a bag, we charge for those." Now I'm stuck with a bag that I'm not happy supporting, but I'm going to get my $10's worth out of it. The only good I can say about this store is that they open late.

Isaiah Thomas Books is easy to find on Route 28. It's a striking millennial pink Victorian house…read morebeside the Cahoon Museum. On the outside, it looks small, but somehow they cram books on every single subject within the little space. If you're looking for specialties and rare books, this is the place to go. If you're into cookbooks specializing in cranberries, this is the destination. There are tons of rarities for reasonable prices; the owners are helpful and will guide you through the labyrinthine store. Plenty of gardening books, histories of Cape Cod and New England, marine biology stashed next to Mormonism and geology, you name it, they probably have it. It takes some looking- and the looking is worth your time. There are pulp fiction books, old cassette tapes and LPs, Cape Cod memorabilia. It's called "haunted" but maybe because it's kind of a mess. Books are piled high, they fall, ghosts get blamed. It is a pleasant haunt.

I have been looking for a copy of "The House on Nauset Marsh" and every local bookstore I called…read moredidn't have it and would have to special order it...except this place. I called and the owner said he'd set it aside for me. What a neat store! It is packed to the gills w/ so many rare and used books. They have an awesome selection of Cape Cod books...all regions. The owner is very knowledgeable and kind. I definitely want to go back the next time I'm in the area to spend a good chunk of time browsing and seeing what treasures I can discover.
