A charming shop with a sense of quiet opulence. This is not a small town bookstore in spirit or…read moredesign. The space is beautifully conceived, inviting you to wander slowly and take in every aisle. I genuinely enjoyed the act of browsing here, which feels like a small luxury in itself. The only snag was an assumption on my part. Given the setting, I expected a more robust local history presence or at least a thoughtfully curated selection highlighting the region. Works on Underground Railroad and abolitionist networks, tourism history, or even local ecology felt notably absent. The offerings on Tubman and Douglass were surprisingly thin. Still, the store's elegance and breadth are undeniable, even if its sense of place could be more fully realized.

I would have happily recommended this bookstore, but my experience last week changed my opinion…read more After purchasing several items, I asked if they could be gift wrapped. The cashier immediately replied, "No." When I asked why, she responded, "Because we're closed." While I understand that it was approximately two minutes past closing time, I was already in the store completing my purchase. A small gesture of customer service would have made a lasting positive impression. Instead, I left feeling that my business was an inconvenience rather than appreciated. Independent bookstores thrive because of the relationships they build with their customers, and I expected a level of courtesy that matched that reputation. I hope the store considers empowering its staff to show a little more flexibility and kindness in situations like this. Great customer service is often remembered long after the purchase itself.

The range here is striking, with shelves that reward both wandering and intentional browsing. I was especially impressed by the African American history and literature section, which felt thoughtfully curated rather than perfunctory. Beyond the books, the prints are truly stunning. There's a particularly rich selection for anyone drawn to Eastern Shore imagery, from lithographs to historic maps that feel both scholarly and artful. It's the kind of place where time slows, your hands fill with discoveries, and you leave already planning a return visit.

The best vibes came when I talk to Tom. I enjoyed learning something about the first kilt I ever owned. I learned I could aquire buckle extenders for my kilt that no longer fits me. Yes, married men tend to get a little pudgy as they get older. I am doing my best to control this tread so belly and butt don't get out of control. Back on track, I talked to Tom about acquiring a utility kilt or cargo kilt. Something I thought would be very beneficial when acquiring my first traditional kilt. My first kilt is made out of wool and is for everyday use. My second kilt is for formal dining or settings. Both of these kilts need Sporran to hold your personal belongings. Now for those of you who don't know about Sporrans, they can be very basic to very fancy. All of them if not properly secured can back and attack your manhood. This goes doubly so for guys that go True Scotsman way. Some women who have worn a Sporran might have experienced this Nunchaku like experience. If I lost you, I will explain "The nunchaku is a traditional Okinawan martial arts weapon consisting of two sticks, connected to each other at their ends by a short metal chain or a rope. It takes lots of practice and respect to use this weapon. The moment you do don't show respect for this weapon, you will be smacked by the very weapon you were holding. The True Scotsman way is very liberating I might say, but there are others who find it "Childish and Unhygienic." I once wore my kilt after the Scottish Games to nail salon. The lady or ladies working on me or near me had this smile on their faces. The woman giving me the pedicure obversly knew what she was doing to get a better view. I am digressing again... Tom informed me this shop tried selling the cargo kilts, but they were not big sellers at the time. The fact that cargo kilts generally are not traditional kilts and don't tend to be clan affiliated, I can see why the cargo kilts didn't sell well. Nevertheless, my next and only kilt will be a cargo style kilt. It will either be all black, heather grey or two tone of black and purple. Tom told me of a fragrance they sold (name escapes me right now) and it smells delightful. It comes in a big bottle, which you should not try to take through the airport or it will be confiscated 99% of the time. I think my wife and I will be acquiring a bottle or two the next time we are in town. I liked the Guinness Jerseys did not feel compelled to by one for nearly 100 dollars. I might have if I hadn't already bought a sweater at another store. My wife and I enjoyed our time at this store and look forward to coming back here again. Tom made this experience here well worth it.
