The staff person that helped me was exquisite. I'm not sure if she was Annie or if there is an Annie, but in my heart she was Annie. I picked up some Classics including Othello. She recommended for Othello to read aloud with my son and talk about the iambic pentameter as Othello is meant to be heard not read. This seems quite obvious but I had not thought of that and it was a fantastic idea. Many blessings to Annie and the staff at Annie's bookstore

And of course, being in Cape Cod, here was the most picturesque book shop so I had to stop by. As soon as I walked in, I could see the carefully curated selection of books with current publications as well as older books. I also appreciated the recommendations posted by staff members of their favorites. They had a nice selection of cards, flowers, and gifts. If I lived in the area, I know this would be one of my favorite places! Being a flower lover, I also enjoyed the flower gardens surrounding the place. Still blooming in October.

WHO'S AFRAID OF THE BIG BAD, Independently owned and operated, used book store?!?…read more As a traveler passing through a few of the sleepy Cape Towns on the off-season, I stumbled across Greg's while walking Orleans' main street where I encountered a sign propped up against a brick wall bearing a stylized image of Medusa's Mean Mug and reading "Greg's Used Books Around Back". Undeterred and unturned to stone, my buddy and I made a left 'round the building and then a quick right where we saw the entrance to Greg's shop. The entry way was a staircase that lead us down to what we soon learned was considered to be by the political pearl clutchers in the area, Orleans' own underworld. Perhaps they were right, in a sense, given that a book about the blues bearing Robert Johnson's image was the first thing my eyes caught in the enclosed glass case of books near the entrance. Were we about to make a faustian deal of our own? Having descended down below, my buddy and I soon found ourselves in a relatively small yet incredibly well and interestingly stocked book store with posters of Jim Morrison and the Doors decorating the walls, amongst other things. We looked around for a bit and came across not only books, but also true relics from the 80's and 90's, including vhs tapes, boxed super famicom games with beautiful box art, etc. We were eventually greeted not by a Gorgon, but Greg himself, who was really a character and in the best sense of the term. Our conversation with him ran the gamut from owning and operating a business like his to politics, philosophy, and literature. He was a really cool, well versed, interesting, and friendly guy and without any pretense. For that, I respect him and his shop, which I gladly supported with my business. All in all, my experience at Greg's was Good. Everything was reasonably and fairly priced and it turns out that it isn't the underworld that some in town have made it out to be. In fact, perhaps in a world of confusion and inversion, a descent down into Greg's used book store is really a move up.
