Twice Sold Tales has to be one of the most amazing bookstores in the world. As the name implies,…read morethey sell used books (and a few new ones, too), which line shelf after shelf after shelf of this quaint, cozy, and shockingly well-stocked space. There are fun (and beautiful) arm chairs, benches and other sitting arrangements throughout the store, which invite you to browse and browse to your heart's content. Books are well organized + ridiculously well priced. The owner (originally from near Boston) is dog friendly, people friendly, very well read, and absolutely wonderful in every way! I believe they host a wine bar in the evenings (based on a quick glance at a sign on the way in), but call to double check details. If I lived anywhere close to here, I'd be by all the time. I'd want to be best friends with the owner, drink wine and read for hours, with my dog by my side. Truly a wondrous place!

There is a lot to see here. But the last time I was there (summer 2025) I was disappointed with one…read moreof the clerks at the counter. I dropped off a few things at the counter for them to hold while I continued to shop. He apparently wrapped them while I was shopping. When I came back to the counter, my husband wanted to talk with the other clerk about a couple of cameras. The first clerk tried to rush me to check out my items before my husband finished his conversation. I told him that I was waiting for my husband. He kept asking me every couple of minutes if I was ready to check out. I kept telling him no and he seemed to get more and more frustrated with me. He slammed things around and kept sighing loudly each time I said I was waiting. I can only describe his behavior as rude. There was no one else in the vicinity so I wasn't holding up a line or anything. Finally, after about 10 minutes, my husband finished his conversation and I said I was ready to check out. I had wanted to take a second look at one of the items I had dropped off. He told me that I couldn't because he had already wrapped it. Yes, I know I could have told him to just keep it, but I didn't. So, just know two things: 1. When you drop something off for them to hold it for you, just know that you can't re-evaluate your choice. 2. All camera equipment that the vendors bring in gets collected by the manager and put on e-bay. So you will need to ask the price at the counter and likely haggle. I probably won't go again because rude employees aren't acceptable.

Now that I'm in Randolph, it's only 25 minutes away. This is my new addiction, for sure! Downtown Winthrop is adorable on its own, so it's a joy to visit. The shop is everything! It has something for everyone. Vintage clothes, handcrafted items, local Maine gifts, a candy store, very carefully and thoughtfully curated collection of seasonal surprises around every corner, and there is so much to explore! Be prepared to spend a couple hours in here, easily! Prices were decent, very affordable. Especially considering every item had so much thought and love put into it. Serious! Every display was PERFECTION! It was definitely inspiring, and made me want to plan out an entire re-do on my home decor. Service here is top notch, we met the owners and they are very sweet. We felt welcomed, and so look forward to coming back. This shop is an absolute GEM. I might die of a broken heart of this goes anywhere...

I have never been bored when window shopping in this store...with that said, while I never intend to purchase anything, when visiting with friends and family, I ALWAYS end up buying something. They have a great selection of local beers. A nice selection of wine and snacks, both sweet and savory! Fun stickers, magnets, hats, t-shirts...so much stuff. Most recently I bought a friend a funny card, magnet and a wooden puzzle (flower bouquet) for her birthday. Somethings I felt like I couldn't find elsewhere, while supporting a local business. While I was there, every single customer was greeted by a staff member. While checking out, the staff member was friendly and engaging - we chatted and had a good laugh about some of the magnets and stickers. I highly recommend this business. Fun gifts, host presents or perhaps something for yourself. Please check it out. Let's help ensure this business stays alive. It's a great part of Main Street! There is street parking on Main St. You can also park in the concourse behind the store, a little more of a walk, but sooo many more parking options.
